Quotes:

Redcoat Sergeant: [to his soldiers] All right you scum, proceed with the hanging.
Ben Jackson: Well, you can't hang us with the officer away.
Redcoat Sergeant: Why do you think he went away? Got a delicate stomach, he has. Always leaves the dirty stuff to me. Right! Get 'em up!
[the Soldiers move into position and begin to pull the ropes taut]
Ben Jackson: Yeah.
Redcoat Sergeant: Take the strain! Stand by!
[a drum rolls, as The Doctor, Ben, Jamie and Colin stand on their tiptoes, with ropes around their necks]
