When Sam and his gang ambushed the Knightmare and the Doctor, determined to scare them off their patch. The were outwitted by the pair and fled in fear.
When it was time for Sam to face the noose at Tyburn, he greeted it with bravery, wit and humour, using jokes to delay the moment of his death. The Doctor joined in with Sam’s gallows humour and managed to earn him a pardon. But this was short lived, as Ashildr used the amulet to end Sam’s life and open the portal.
