Doreen, who was referred to as a "she" by the Doctor, was by the time traveller's admission somewhat mentally disturbed, and was known to try to chat up a [[dustbin]] the Doctor kept somewhere in his TARDIS. Although still occasionally shouting "Exterminate!", Doreen displayed no actual interest in [[extermination]], instead desiring the company of [[human]]s and [[humanoid]]s; shortly after making his acquaintance, she even insisted on [[waltz]]ing with [[Brigadier (Hallo My Dalek)|the Brigadier]]. | Doreen, who was referred to as a "she" by the Doctor, was by the time traveller's admission somewhat mentally disturbed, and was known to try to chat up a [[dustbin]] the Doctor kept somewhere in his TARDIS.
