Howling:The G.I. and the Shalka Doc have similar fashion sense

Does this bother anyone else?

I started watching Scream of the Shalka today (because November is a long, long way away). So now it's bugging me that the Shalka Doctor looks so similar to The Great Intelligence in Dr. Simeon form--beyond what I'd expect based solely on them being played by the same actor. Check out this pic of the Shalka Doctor and his Victonian-esque look, and this one  of The G.I. They've both got a big fancy trenchcoat and tie and creepy slicked-back hair. (I know it's not the same kind of tie. But still.) And it's not like REG always has slicked-back hair, right? (See? Much less creepy.)

Also, the brown fur on The G.I.'s trenchcoat reminds me of the Yeti (the Yeti are brown right? Is that a legit pic? Anyone seen a color still from one of the Yeti stories?), but that's hardly mysterious.

Is anyone else wondering if The G.I. stepping into the Doctor's timestream could have created some kind of G.I./Simeon/Doctor meta-crisis that resulted in the Shalka Doctor?

P.S. I would have liked to have done a thorough check for whether this had been suggested before, before posting. If someone can tell me how to search specifically on the Howling (i.e. not the whole wiki), it would be much appreciated.
