Jamie, having early on blocked Polly's view of corpses in a torched villa, reacted with weariness to the cause to free slaves from the Roman Empire (a cause which similarly ended in defeat with the rebels being crucified by [[Pompey]]). Surprisingly, he simply wanted to get back to the TARDIS. However, he helped against [[Crassus]] and protected his fellow companions.

He often used analogies to describe the new things he was seeing — he compared Space Station Camera to "twenty castles in the sky" and called the Sontarans "knights" ([[TV]]: ''[[The Two Doctors (TV story)|The Two Doctors]]'') and aeroplanes "flying beasties."
