oh no. there's been a lot of comparison of this ep with 'Superstar' on torch_wood. One person even went through it even more and pointed out how it was actual Gary Stu fanfic, not just self-insertion, right down to demonising some characters (Ianto) for plot purposes or because he didn't love them, marginalising and shallowing others (Gwen) because he forgot about 'em, along with the usual getting it on with the character he fancies, being the confidante of the main character whilst at the same time denigrating the main character's skills and awesomeness so that main character looks to *him* and so on. And then they forget about him once he's out of the picture. Gary Stu indeed.
