Bernice Summerfield: Oh, don't tell me that behind the rest of these doors you've got Napoleon... Churchill? Alexander the Great? Because even for the Daleks, that would be an enormous triumph of camp over common sense.

Dalek: *attempts to interrupt, fails*

Bernice: ...It's always something mad, isn't it? You've got the firepower to just wade in and have a go at the rest of the universe but no! You twat about! You make duplicates of people, you come up with plans to pit one galactic empire against another, you get into centuries-long wars with races whose idea of camouflage would only be successful if the universe was one gigantic disco! How did the Movellans outthink you? They haven't figured out that it might not be an idea to build warrior robots which die when you yank their power pack off their belt! Oh dear,have I let a strategic secret slip? Have I just altered the course of centuries of war? No! Because I'm talking to the bloody Daleks who couldn't EXTERMINATE their way out of a tomato!

Dalek: Silence! Daleks are the superior beings! Daleks are destined to rule the universe and control all other forms of life!

Bernice: ...Struck a nerve, did I?


Short extract from this. Seriously, you should all listen to these. I have yet to put my hands on any of the actual books, but the audio dramas are pure gold.

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about: Bernice Summerfield. Long story short: Doctor Who spinoff character, possibly more awesome than any character from the actual TV series. Highly recommended.
