Isn't the BBC getting a wee bit too intertextual here?
They have two hit series involving some kind of time travel (let's ignore Torchwood here), so they have to start mixing the casts up.
It does of course provide lots of explanations for why there can't be a third season of LoM, and just why Sam went back in time when he had a head injury, as well as lots of opportunity for one liners:

clanwilliam: 'What happens next? Gene Hunt to the rescue!'...
Let's hope John Simm brings some of Tyler's gravitas to the role and stops being quite so hyperactive (though the line 'You think I'm going to reveal all my plans to you?' was a good sign).
I just hope he doesn't start badgering his minions or his warders, once imprisoned again by UNIT, with best practice for evidence gathering and prisoner interrogation.
But overall it was fun.
