My favorite doc is the 20/20 episode from ABC in 1980. It's filled with great footage: Fleetwood Mac in concert in Cleveland, traveling on tour, picking up their 1978 Grammy, press conferences, Stevie Nicks on piano, and several then-new interviews. It was colorful & exciting for us Macheads who watched it air on TV (airing after an especially distasteful installment on seal-clubbing & factory-farming).
I also like the "Rocksteady" doc from British TV in 1990 -- rehearsing for the tour in Burbank, very candid interviews with surprising revelations, and decent history.
There have also been a couple of great short profiles of the band on TV over the years, including a "2 on the Town" featuring the band riding to the stage at the US Festival in golf carts, rehearsing "Hold Me," onstage US Festival performances of "Rhiannon" & other songs, & good interviews.
