Lionheart Promotional
This 11-minute promotional 'featurette' was made circa early 1985, since it refers to "21 years of adventure", and features clips from Season 21 (but not from Season 22) as well as from the William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton stories that had recently been released into US syndication.
Although primarily a video created and issued by Lionheart as a sales promotional tool for the benefit of potential purchasers in the United States, it was shown on TV by some stations, often as a treat during pledge-drives:

It's possible this was also shown during the Doctor Who USA Tour (1986-87), which included videos and documentaries about the series.
Another version of the 'featurette' appeared in late 1988, re-edited to include scenes from Sylvester McCoy's first story only, and with a modified narration now stating that the series had been running for "25 years".
The 15-minute programme billed in newspapers as "Doctor Who in Review" that was shown on the Grand Rapids Michigan station channel 35 (WGVU) on 8 October 1988 at 6.15pm was likely to be the updated promotional video.
