Yes, sjmaxq is right -"Received Pronunciation" - commonly abbrev.'d to RP - is what we now call "BBC" english (or, indeed, the even older style noted by max.)
It is also going out of fashion over here, and regional accents, old and new, are being valued as a "precious heritage" (or something of that sort!)
