* Clara is saying the Doctor she knows will come for her no matter what, holding out a hand waiting...and then a hand moves into hers and pulls her back. One of the "robots" peels off his face to show the Doctor just as his new theme music kicks in.
-->'''The Doctor:''' Hello, hello! Rubbish robots from the dawn of time!
* Clara's refusal of the Half-Faced Man's demand. Added points for the fact that Clara is visibly terrified and crying while doing so, yet never backs down. Lampshaded by the Doctor:
-->'''The Doctor:''' Five-one and crying. You never stood a chance.
* Jenny and Vastra make a very stylish BigDamnHeroes entrance into the "larder" of the ancient ship.
-->'''Vastra:''' '''Remain still and lay down your weapons in the name of the British Empire!'''
* The Doctor's final confrontation with the Half-Faced Man. He tells him he's afraid he's going to have to kill him, surmising it's the only way to stop him and that he's the command module for the other clockwork droids. After a brief scuffle, in which the Half-Faced Man says he can't self-terminate and the Doctor says he can't kill him, the Doctor says one of them is lying. Cue the Half-Faced Man impaled on a tower, and the Doctor giving the camera a hell of a DeathGlare.
-->'''The Doctor:''' Those people down there? [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime They're never small to me]]. Do not make assumptions about how far I will go to protect them, because I've already come a '''very long way!''' And unlike you... I do not expect to reach the Promised Land.

* Despite being a PyrrhicVictory on the Doctor's part, Rusty the Dalek turning on and destroying the rest of the Daleks is admittedly pretty spectacular.

* Robin vs. The Sheriff. It starts with a sword fight and ends with Robin copying the Doctor's evasion technique to knock him into the gold vat.
* The Doctor leading the enslaved peasants to revolt against their captors. They take unmelted gold plates and use them as reflector shields against the robot knights' laser beams. ThePlan is so successful that all of the robots in charge of the area are completely destroyed, allowing the peasants to escape.
* Robin managing to shoot a golden arrow, as in an arrow that must weigh more than a brick, miles into the air with an 1190-ish bow. With his arm broken! While compensating for the two other people who are helping to hold his bow!
* "When did you start believing in impossible heroes?" The fact that Robin Hood was so impossibly awesome that each and every one of the Doctor's regenerations believed it couldn't be real. Not even the child-like Eleven or the human-curious One ever considered him plausible enough to even investigate. Coming from someone like the Doctor, that says a lot about how awesome Robin is.
