Received pronunciation is the supposed acceptable standardized pronunciation of the mid 20th Century. This is how English used to be taught in England and used to be the only accent heard on BBC television.

It is now very rare and would be considered by most Britons as old-fashioned and/or Upper Class.

It may correspond to what is seen outside the UK as a British accent
