I didn't mind him as Peter Bradford. He wasn't a strong character, but he did an okay job. I didn't like him at all as Jeff Clark, he was just such a jerk. Poor Vicki, she must have really had some sort of masochistic streak in her. The only other possibility was that she was just really dumb. I really hated him as Ned Stuart - he took the jerk thing to new and unparalled hights. I actually liked him quite a bit as Dirk Wilkins. We just got to this new time of 1897, the characters are unfamiliar and we feel a bit uneasy, and there's Dirk, cold and rude and just generally the type of person who puts you on edge, sort of a microcosm of the whole mood of the time period. He just fit really well into the whole atmosphere of the story at that point.
