"Curses, Foiled Again" Dept.: I could not find an appearance of Angus Podgorny on the World Wide Web (patent pending), so simply get out your copy of Monty Python's Flying Circus season 1, episode 7 "You're No Fun Anymore," and watch the last half of the show, featuring the Pythons' aptly-titled "Science Fiction Sketch." Angus Podgorny is the humble Scotsman who helped save the world against an invasion of blancmanges from outer space, by playing at Wimbledon against them:
Mr Angus Podgorny (Michael Palin) of Scotland receives an order for 48,000,000 kilts from the planet Skyron in the Andromeda galaxy and considers the profit to be made from this, but explains to his wife (Terry Jones) that the order was not from a man, but from a blancmange....Charles (Graham Chapman) determines that the blancmanges mean to win Wimbledon, having turned the population into Scotsmen, since they are known as the world's worst tennis players.
A commentator (Eric Idle) gives the results of the blancmanges' tennis playing and one begins to play against Angus Podgorny (Michael Palin) until it is eaten by Mr and Mrs Samuel Brainsample (Chapman, Idle), thus allowing Podgorny to become the first Scotsman to win Wimbledon, albeit 15 years later.
