It should also not be forgotten that BBC radio and newsreel presenters were once the standard bearers for that most cultured of accents, the cut-glass "Received Pronunciation." The Beeb have a lovely little article on it here.

I believe in the early days of the BBC presenters were required to be appropriately dressed when broadcasting in the evening. Dinner jackets after 6pm please, chaps!

I find that my monocle distorts my on-screen writing and my watch fob gets in the way of the keyboard. But I won’t remove them for anything!
