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]
