When ''Revelation of the Daleks'' saw a special edition DVD release, it saw some of the most significant changes from the original program compared to other DVD releases. For one, the Special Edition was re-mixed into stereo, with new Dalek voices in later scenes. The original (non-DVD release) of the episode also featured [[Jimi Hendrix]]'s song "[[Fire (song)|Fire]]", which could not be cleared for commercial release and so was replaced with a generic piece of music. | |||

One Dalek in the original was a model from the company Sevans, but it didn't give the right effect. The special edition has this replaced with another Sevans Dalek. Its explosion effect greatly varied from the original. When a Necros Dalek visibly hovers, the angle is changed to make its levitation significantly easier for viewers to discern. The explosion of Orsini's bomb at the end of the episode also varied greatly from the original, changing from a swirling-green-effect to a red-glowing effect. | ||
