New Beginnings

New Beginnings is the title of a DVD box set issued by BBC Video and 2 Entertain (DVD 1331) in January 2007 in the UK and in June 2007 in North America. It was a three-DVD set that included The Keeper of Traken, Logopolis, and Castrovalva - the final two stories featuring Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor and the third being Peter Davison's debut as the Fifth Doctor. The three stories form a story arc related to not only the Doctor's regeneration, but also the return of the Master.

Each DVD was also released separately.
