Default Early Tomb Raider III version in these video-reviews?

Today on the YouTube home page I found a video, recently published, showing Tomb Raider III.
I wanted to take a look at the channel and there are lots of video game reviews from the 90s, all with the same introduction and the same "narrator".
They show, with a fairly excellent quality, various pieces of gameplay that seem to date back to the very first builds of the game (there is also Run The Gauntlet!). There are many interesting differences.

I only found these videos:

Thanks for posting. I recognise some of the footage from Tomb Raider 3 but not all of it. Could it be that some of it was stuff that got edited and/or cut out?

Is the narrator Jonell?

EDIT: while it sounds like her, I no longer think it's her.

Are the links broken? The videos aren't displaying for me like other TRF YouTube embeds.

No problem. I wonder if the stuff that we don't recognise was stuff that was going to feature but got edited and/or cut out.

Cybernet! That's a blast from the past, I preferred Bits and later Thumb Bandits but Cybernet did sometimes have sneak peaks before anyone else or even just re-used early pre-release footage for their reviews. Lucy Longhurst was the narrator for Cybernet, she did a bunch of voice over stuff for UK TV around this time.
