Region 2 DVD release.

The Beginning was a three DVD BBC DVD set compiling the first three stories from Doctor Who.

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 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.

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.
