No, it does not. “The Beginning” is not on the 2011 Blu Ray set at all. Keep your 2001.
Also, I wanted to mention to any collectors out there, the UK 9 DVD set is PAL, rather than NTSC. I was under the impression that even European DVDs were being made NTSC at this point. Certainly, nearly every one I’ve bought in the last 9-10 years has been NTSC. Granted, these have typically been music releases, but still.
I guess they just assume anyone that still wants a DVD must have an old analogue PAL tv.
Do you happen to know if Anatomy Of A Dewback has this dumb letter-and-pillar-boxing issue on the 2011 set as it does on the 2020 set? It was one of the main things I wanted to watch in at least semi-respectable quality since I only ever knew it as a crappy web stream from a time before the internet actually worked for video…
EDIT: Screw it, I’ll grab one on eBay and find out. Half the documentaries aren’t in the new set anyway.
