Documentary on RP Pronunciation from BBC 4 Archive

Hello ladies and gentlemen from all over the world...
Be very welcome: The UK, Ireland, The USA, Sweden, India, Panama, Germany, Canada, Russia, France, Argentina, China, and many more which are visiting this web blog... Make yourself at home, and free to share ideas.

These past days, I was looking for videos about the so-called "stiff upper lip" accent frequently associated to the Upper class from Southeastern England.
Guess what?
I found a marvellous and very rare documentary from BBC Channel 4 on RP and, various regional accents across Britain.
It is very intriguing, and there is even an interview with Lord Reith, one of the first Presidents of The BBC Organisation. He was the one who, established the Southeastern pattern of speaking for the BBC broadcasters, therefore it also became known as the BBC English.

Let's have a look, shall we?
Unfortunately, it's got nothing to look at, 'cause it's only available in audio. LOL.
