If he was still allowed in the army at all. Much as it pains us to say it, in 1941 dancing with another man in public, let alone snogging him, would have have them instantly thrown out and probably beaten up, and Jack certainly wouldn’t have had the respect of his men we’re told he has the next day. And we love the well-observed moment when the straight couple shoo them away from lovers’ corner in the automatic expectation that two guys won’t be needing it.īut while the final dance and kiss are completely adorable, the anachronism of it really grated with us. The “real” Captain Jack is beautifully played by Matt Rippey, and together he and John Barrowman believably sell us the idea of the two of them having feelings for each other even though they've only just met. Jack’s delight at being back in an era he’s so clearly fond of, his isolation and his gradually developing bond with his namesake all touch genuine emotional chords. As with Out Of Time, there’s nothing particularly original about it, but this time that doesn’t matter all that much: the execution is great, and that’s enough.
