I don't think so. Where exactly did you see all these
sub-titled British TV/movies?
In all the British movies and TV shows I've seen in the US, the
British actors sound the same as the do on British TV. I don't
recall ever going to a theater in England, but I've seen plenty
of TV in England. To me the dialog sounds the same as it does
in the US.
