These are Roving reports made for British TV in 1960, something similar to today's TV Travel shows trying to understand other countries politically, culturally and exploitative from the British government and public. Just like today's programs there instances of racism, showing others lowly, and superiority complex of colonialists in these videos but they are more primitive than today's tactics. Just like today most people can not see through these nuances the people then also could not understand these mostly.

Beside this point these videos are a good way to look at the way of life and the political map in 1960 for those countries which were considered important back then. Enjoy them, here is the first one for Paksitan:

Not a Roving report but a similar one from the same era showing American presidential couple roaming in Pakistan even visiting areas that today they are bombing by drones:
