Leaving aside for a moment that Mickey Bricks'd eat this lot for breakfast on his tod, why are these things even crossed over? I mean, I get that they're both shows about conmen (insofar as the wretched meat-propelled haircuts in Swindle's cast can be called men), but this serves no purpose at all. It insults both sets of characters and bashes them together without any real thought put into it. Someone who gives a toss about Leverage, if you're reading this, please make it die.

As an aside, Leverage is a show that exists because the network that set it up didn't want to pay the BBC for the rights to Hustle, which you should watch because it's a much better show. It's a similar origin to noted blob of gull vomit Elementary, though in that case CBS tried and failed to get the license to the BBC's Sherlock and announced Elementary three weeks later. This is, of course, a complete coincidence. Obviously.
