I love a good Geordie accent!no there aren't, and there are transcripts for all of them anyway, so you can read rather than listen if you prefer (though it is handy to see moving pictures for some things).
your age is showing : diversity has arrived there now, so it's not 1950s style (aka Oxford English) continuity announcers anymore. Some of them are a bit challenging for all of us, depending on which bits of the country/world we come from and our aural idiosyncrasies. I just can't understand what Geordies are saying, for example (they're people who grew up and/or live round Newcastle/Tyneside/the North East of England), though have no trouble with their neighbouring Yorkshire accents; it's quite weird. But having them all on the BBC - including a guy with a deep baritone Barbadian accent - is wonderful imo.
