Doctor Who: The Beginning was the title of 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 2nd 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.
