"over The Moon, Jim, Over The Moon"

A group of us at work have got a "thing" where, in response to being asked, "How are you?", we jokingly answer with, "Over the moon, Jim, over the moon".

This has got us thinking about where that phrase came from. A couple of us are convinced that we'd heard it on a TV advert, which was a football-themed spoof interview in which one of the characters is a reporter (probably modelled on John Motson) who wears a sheepskin coat.

Can anyway put us out of our misery and tell us the details of where we "heard it first", please?

I'd suspect the spoof would've been based on real football related interviews where the interviewed wasn't as sick as a parrot.
Definitely an ad - was a young lad with a super slippy panel sewn into his jeans to assist with his record breaking descent of a chute in a kids playpark. He was indeed being interviewed by another kid dressed up as Motty. Can’t remember what the ad was for though
