Roy Plomley was apparently keen on books such as The Guns of Navarone and Where Eagles Dare, so was pleased when they booked and recorded a programme with Alistair Maclean. Why was it never broadcast?

The man interviewed wasn't that Alistair MacClean but another Alistair MacClean

Correct. He was the European representative of the Ontario Tourist Board and hadn’t written any books. He was not an impostor, as that is someone deliberately pretending to be another: they had just asked the wrong person.

TikTok in Klingon?
DaleCooper

It's pronounced exactly as it sounds.
I don't think so but no doubt someone on this forum is fluent in Klingon.

I like it but it's not that neither is it a tasty parasitic arachnid.
Clue:
It's a discovery of the natural sciences.

This question has been bugging me since it was posted, finally it has come to me
It was a fish that had many elements of tetrapods. So is very exciting to paleontologists.
