you have to elongate your vowels and hit all the constanants, watch My Fair Lady and you'll get a good idea of what I mean.

eyed listen to Montey Python, eye wud.
Well, I'm not sure that's olde English. Your best bet is to pick up DVDs with the accent you want and try and copy them. (The accents not the DVDs)
Don't be discouraged if it takes a while.
In "Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan" Andie MacDowell's Scottish brogue was so bad, her voice was replaced by Glenn Close.
In the Mel Brooks Spoof 'Men in Tights' - Cary Elwes says "Unlike some Robin Hoods, I can speak with a English Accent" which was a dig at Kevin Costner's inability to do so his earlier portrayal of the role.
Have fun.
