We didn't actually speak like that at the time either.
The reason for us brits all sounding so posh back in the day is due to the microphones of the time not being able to properly reproduce the base sounds of the human voice.

Really? Recordings didn't have much bass but TV types of the day where trained in that RP cut glass speech at the BBC.
Might be more to do with the modulation on the recordings, tape wow and flutter possibly gives the speakers voices a nervous warbling quiver. Or they need a piss.
