Is it RP or "just" a beautiful English accent? (Olivia Williams)

[~Mav~]

Dear experts,

Would you be so kind as to watch this short video, and let me know if it is Received Pronunciation or "just" a beautiful British accent? (I mean Olivia Williams's accent, of course, not the American guy's. ) By the way, it's worth watching for other reasons as well.

Thank you for sharing your opinions.

Dear emsr2d2, BobK, Tdol and other British experts,


Would you be so kind as to as to spend a couple of minutes of your precious time for watching (or just listening to) that short video I posted before, and share your opinions, please.

It's what I (and many others, I hope) would call RP. But I noticed during my PGCE teaching practice that secondary English teachers in the UK (who have recently had a crash course in linguistics) tend to use the term "RP" to mean 'extreme RP, such as was used on the BBC until the 1950s'.
