not a bad episode all in all, good performances and a very unusual premise.

I even thought the holographic projection effect worked really well.

My only criticisms would be that the main character should have looked more like the actor playing kenedy (I wont ruin the episode by saying why) and that it was a bit of a love letter to an idealised version of JFK. Prehaps this episode would have gone down much better to an american audience though.

I agree mate. I wondered how he would pass off as JFK myself. I've got a soft spot for the time travel episodes.

I'll third that. The substitution doesn't really hold up. Generally good ep though.
