A little AU
First I must admit that I've never watched Life on Mars but the idea struck me anyway, so I've given it a shot. Please forgive me if I completely goofed.

And where did he go?
The Doctor stood across the street from the police station, watching as people came and left, noticing as much as they would notice a tree or a lamp post. He held in his hand a pocket watch, which he turned over and over in his hand, never looking at it. But then again he knew what it was and didn't need to look at it. To see the designs etched on its cover.
One policeman, an inspector, stopped as he came out of the station to look at him, a puzzled frown on his face. He crossed the street to stand in front of the Doctor, asking, "Do I know you?"
"No. No. No," the Doctor said, shoving his hands -the pocket watch -into his jacket pockets.
"You seem familiar somehow."
Smiling as best he could, he said, "Oh, I just have one of those faces, you know? Always seem to be someone you know, but not really. You wouldn't believe how many people have thought they've known me. The queen once thought she knew me."
The inspector nodded his head and then shrugged, "Strange that." Then as an almost after thought, he offered his hand, "Sam Tyler."
"John Smith," the Doctor said smoothly as if it weren't even a lie.
"It's nice to meet you Mr. Smith... perhaps I'll see you around some."
"Perhaps."
Sam gave him a nod of his head before walking away.
"Master," the Doctor finished quietly.
