Clyde Langer is a fictional character played by Daniel Anthony in the British children's science fiction television programme The Sarah Jane Adventures. He first appears in the second and third episodes, Revenge of the Slitheen, and is a replacement for the character Kelsey Harper.[1]
Like Maria, Clyde's parents are no longer living together, however he did not specify whether his parents were divorced or had simply separated. He moved to the same catchment area as Maria and Luke sometime shortly before Revenge of the Slitheen and like them was a new student at the local school. Clyde lives with his mother, and agrees with Maria that he, like her is happier for his parents to live apart rather than to argue.
He found out that aliens exist when he followed Maria into the school technology block and saw several Slitheen (including a child Slitheen) whom he saw change out of their disguises. While Sarah Jane was annoyed to have another person depending on her she eventually warmed to Clyde when he proved helpful in figuring out the Slitheen's weakness and in defeating the family.
Clyde appears to put a lot of value in appearing 'cool', and is a bit of a troublemaker. He initially finds Maria, and Luke strange — especially Luke. However, Clyde is not without his tender side, he encourages Sarah Jane to allow Luke to call her "Mum" suspecting that this is what she really wants.
Clyde seems to have some form of limited cyberpath ability. In The Lost Boy he was able to send messages to another computer while trapped inside of Mr Smith, who expresses surprise at his ability to do so.
[edit] Helping Luke Smith
In Revenge of the Slitheen Clyde agreed to help Luke with his trouble's on Earth. He had just learnt that he had been created from the Bane.
In Warriors of Kudlak Luke asked Clyde to explain about girls.
[edit] Forgetting Sarah Jane Smith and Luke Smith
In Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane?, a deadly creature swapped Sarah Jane with Andrea Yates. Clyde also forgot Maria Jackson; little did he know that a comet was coming towards the Earth. Andrea Yates went back and Clyde remembered everything, as did everyone else.
