I usually watch the BBC World News via satellite (I live in South Korea; there might be slight difference between the international channel and your domestic channel BBC News). Since I am quite interested in British accents, I want to figure out what RP sounds like. I have heard that not a few presenters on the BBC actually speak with RP other than so-called Estuary or other regional accents. Let me know who BBC presenter speaks with real RP. Also, let me know who are RP speakers among the list of some presenters, who I know, below:
Nik Gowing
George Alagiah (of Sri Lanka ancestry)
Jonathan Charles
Mike Embley
Peter Dobbie (a Scot?)
Alastair Yates
Tim Wilcox
Matt Frei
Tanya Beckett
Mishal Hussain (of Arab ancestry)
