'''''The Beginning''''' | '''''The Beginning''''' was a three DVD [[BBC DVD]] set compiling the first three stories from ''[[Doctor Who]]''. | ||
== Overview == | == Overview == | ||
The set was released in [[January]] [[2006]] in the UK and on [[2 March]] [[2006]] in the [[US]] and [[Australia]]. The North American release differed slightly from the UK and Australian version in that the UK and Australian version packaged each story separately, while the Region 1 version compiled ''The Daleks'' and ''The Edge of Destruction'' (plus extras) into one two-disc box. Unlike other sets such as ''[[Lost in Time (DVD box set)|Lost in Time]]'' and ''[[New Beginnings]]'', the individual stories have yet to be released by themselves in North America. It has the BBC DVD code BBCDVD1882 and the [[Warner Video]] code E2489. | The set was released in [[January (releases)|January]] [[2006 (releases)|2006]] in the UK and on [[2 March (releases)|2 March]] [[2006 (releases)|2006]] in the [[US]] and [[Australia]].

Notable features in this set include the fact all episodes have gone through the VidFIRE process to restore their original videotape look. In addition, the version of [[The Pilot Episode]] included in this set is newly edited and digitally remastered to combine the best takes and remove as many errors from the original as possible; as such it is a different version than previously issued in ''[[The Hartnell Years]]'' VHS release of the 1990s, or subsequent UK VHS release paired with ''The Edge of Destruction''. | Notable features in this set include the fact all episodes have gone through the VidFIRE process to restore their original videotape look.
