One of the popular science programs here has a presenter that always
raises his voice towards the end of the sentences. He sounds vaguely
similar to this accent except that his is perfectly clear. Well, he's a
popular science program presenter after all.
Send a Youtube link if you can find one. It'd be interesting to hear. The
rising intonation is a new thing to British English, having come here from
New Zealand within the last 20 or so years, and is generally restricted to
young women. Maybe your presenter is not British.
Neville Longbottom of Harry Potter movies talks like this, especially in
the earlier movies of the series. I couldn't find a clip on YouTube
though...
