When the Red Dwarf crew accidentally disrupted events at the Texas Book Depository, the only person they could find to take the role of second gunman was (an alternate reality) JFK himself.

Not very hard this one, have been signed off work the last week and my head is battered. Which English actor featured in the video for a Faith No More cover version of a Bee Gees song? Actually there are several English actors in it, one is slightly more famous for his antipodean exploits, thats the one I mean. Sorry, I said my head was battered. Ha ha.

I'll take it - identify the following show from its first words and its last words

First Line: "Red alert. Load all torpedo bays. Ready phasers."

Last Line: "It's like I said. The more things change, the more they stay the same"

Bonus points to those that can identify both episodes and speakers
