    South African? I know they have a few reasonably well known cyclists but being honest, every one I can name is white, so this is a guess at best.

    No. You seem to have missed this:

    Ok, folks. Time to end your hibernation:

    Outstanding:

    1. In 2015 Daniel Teklahaimanot became the first black African to wear the King of the Mountains (i.e. polka dot) jersey in the Tour de France. What is his nationality?

    Clue: Cycling is this country's national sport, a legacy of the colonial ruling power.

    2. If and when Charles succeeds QEII he will be the first twice-married monarch of England/Great Britain since who?

    Clue: After KH8, before QE2. This fellow's second marriage caused quite a commotion.

    Sorry Feargale - my question: what was Diane Lane's debut film? And for a clue, which is also a second, more difficult question: what piece of Vivaldi's featured as the main theme for its soundtrack?

    The other question still outstanding is, who's the only artist to have ever been awarded a star in each category in the Hollywood Walk of Fame?

    I haven't a bull's. You seem to have stumped all of us. If you give some more generous clues I will do likewise with mine.

    Just to try to keep the place breathing I'll guess John Lennon.

    Not quite what I was thinking, so. The bit I was thinking about is called caruncle, I now find.

    Anyway, what's a nictitating membrane?

    I think I know that one! Is it the bit of membrane that goes over a cat's eye independently of the eyelid? It moves to and fro - side to side.

    Yes, it's the third, inner eyelid, partial in some animals, full in others (e.g. birds).
