Taupi and Everyman

The answers to 16d in Taupi and 24a in Everyman this last weekend are both the same, i.e.tiger, and the cryptic part of the clues are almost identical.

I've noticed this happen before, quite often actually. Is it the same compiler for both? It can't be just a coincidence surely?

Also, what's the significance of "australian" in the Taupi clue?

The clue to tiger is tied in with 12a ... snake. A tiger snake is a dangerously poisonous Australian snake.

What is the answer to 20a. ? Programme about 17:17 (5) P - O - G. Prong ? Why?

Quizmonster

'Prog' is the abbreviation of 'programme' and the answer to 17 across is 'point'. 'N' is the standard abbreviation for 'north', one of the points of the compass. A prong is a point. At least that's how I read it!

Thank you for your answer Quizmonster. I guessed that what probably the rationale behind the answer, but was a bit confused about the repetition of 17. However after reading your reply I now realise that a 2nd 17 was needed to provide the definition. Senior moment !
