Although 'An Unearthly Child' and 'The Daleks' have already been released on VHS, they are worth looking at again as they've been restored and are nice clean bright copies. However, it is the extras which make this release worth seeing. With 'an Unearthly Child' included is the original unedited version of the first episode and short short comedy sketches by Mark Gatiss, plus a theme music video. In 'The Daleks' there is a very interesting documentary about the origins of the daleks. The third DVD in the set, 'The Edge of Destruction,' is only two episodes and is rather claustrophobic, being set in the Tardis only. One extra on this disk is a special 30 minute story of the 'lost' Marco Polo story. Overall, if you are interested in the early days of Dr Who, this is worth renting.
