Given what I understand is the semi-SF nature of this show, I can imagine people running off on cloning tangents by getting Admiral Lord Hornblower's uniform jacket from after his service on Renown and taking blood samples from it to clone.
"That's not possible! There are two different genotypes represented here!"
"There are? Why would that be?"
"Who knows, Doctor. But there are two people's blood on this jacket. How do we know which one is Lord Hornblower's? CI-5 is paying us to clone him, not someone else ... "
"I guess we'll have to clone both then, and see which one is correct."
"How do we tell? And what do we do with the other one?"
