What's the reason that I hear the L's snap or something?

. . . look . . . looked . . .

The first L sound is plainly pronounced by BBC presenter. Yet the second one is from an Irish professor, and it seems to a bit vibrate by his tongue’s tightly wiggly snap or something else. What’s the reason I hear like that; what I said before is the real reason?
