A century of "intrusive" R in English

As these clips show, so-called intrusive R has been a feature of standard speech in England (and presumably Wales, Australia and New Zealand) for at least a century. The term refers to a linking /r/ sound between the vowels of THOUGHT, PALM and commA and a following vowel, IF there's no corresponding 'r' in the spelling.
