The following are videos which explicit the RP Pronunciation. It is interesting to notice the differences between the older ones and the most recent ones, because as any variation of a language, the RP also changes through time.
This is an educative video from the fifities, about the London Bus Service.
Another video from the fifities, this one seems to be a news broadcast.
An extrat from BBC News about the poor grammar of young English people.
Video with examples of voiceover services of a British lady.
An extract from the movie "My Fair Lady", in which Audrey Hepburn's character tries to speak with RP.

BBC English - Origins and Use
This blog is part of a project for the Language and Culture course of 2007. It is a webography that lists interesting sites about the use, origin and current examples of the Received Pronunciation, a.k.a. BBC English. We considered the "BBC English" as a synonym of "Received Pronunciation", but some authors use the term only to describe the English used by the BBC TV channels and radio. Please, feel free to comment or post new information.
