    Re the time zones - I think the correct answer is 9. There are 8 across mainland Russia but the Kaliningrad is a Russian territory between Poland and Lithuania and is in another time zone.

    The TV show is the Wombles - Tomsk was the character!

    What was the name of the british gunboat that shelled Liberty Hall during the Easter Rising? It was later handed over to Ireland and was one of the first ships of the Irish Navy.

    The Irish or British name for the ship will do
