FWIW...many years ago, when black and white TV was in fashion there was a TV show in the USA called: THE TWENTIETH CENTURY...it was on CBS. Either Mike Wallace or Walter Cronkite was in the cockpit of the trident as it made an autoland, the captain looking backwards at the Camera explaining what was going on.

Not sure about anything shown in the US, but there was a film made by the de Havilland film crew of a Trident autoland which featured Jimmy Phillips in the captain's seat with his back to the approaching runway, explaining to the camera what was happening.
