Here's the original 1966 recording: https://www.leslieflint.com/mr-biggs-1966
They've got a transcript below that, because it's difficult to make out what is being said at times. Which explains why the guy in the YouTube video was reciting an edited version, rather than just playing the original.
The site also features the other recordings of Leslie Flint. Unsurprisingly, this includes communications with the spirits of famous individuals: https://www.leslieflint.com/recordings-archive
George Benard Shaw (1965): "But, um...people will say: 'What happened to G.B.S? What happened to G.B.S? He seems to have lost his Irish accent!'"

Style of mediumship: When taking part in séances with Flint, participants would report hearing the voices of the dead surrounding them in the room. Flint would perform bound and gagged in an attempt to prove that he was not throwing his voice. He claimed that he was able to conjure ectoplasm from which he could then reconstruct vocal cords. However, Flint always insisted on performing in the dark, so séance-goers were unable to see him during the performances. He would sometimes even perform in a cupboard.
