I can't quite put my finger on it. Can you please help me? It's been driving me crazy for days now!
Thanks in advance. :)

I'd call that modern RP- it doesn't really show any regional characteristics. Specialists may be able to probe underneath, but that kind of speaker could come from anywhere and nowhere to me.
 
I don't notice any regional characteristics either but he has a slight roticism (difficulty pronouncing "r").
 
I also hear the mainly RP pronunciation, but I feel he may be a Scotsman deliberately pronouncing words in that way, because his sounds halfway to [e].
