Old Promotional Featurettes

Forgive me if this topic has been done before. I know there have been similar threads, but I can't quite find one that fits what I'm looking for within the first few pages of the board.
Does anyone have any particular favorite nostalgic promotional features that were filmed leading up to a Bond film release? I enjoy watching current day interviews of the actors, but find the historical interviews and features to be doubly interesting.
I'll start off with two:
1.) 25 Year Anniversary - TLD Premier - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIjrpaXCVwU
Love Lois Maxwell in this and Caroline Bliss looks so much better here than they made her in her two Bond films. Hard to believe that we are now past double the anniversary of this landmark feature.
2.) Moonraker BBC Clip interviewing Cubby, Moore, Kiel, Chiles, Gilbert, etc. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMKqOmpxh9M
Very interesting how they make mention of Sean Connery featuring in a rival Bond movie in 1979. Obviously a McClory rival film had been discussed well before this, but I never knew there were strong links to Connery four years before the movie's release. Definitely need to read The Battle for Bond, but I currently can't put down the original Bedside Companion.
