'''''The Mark of the Berserker''''' was the fourth serial of [[Series 2 (SJA)|series | '''''The Mark of the Berserker''''' was the fourth serial of [[Series 2 (SJA)|series two]] of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. It was written by [[Joseph Lidster]] and directed by [[Joss Agnew]]. Sarah Jane was absent for much of the proceedings, but depicted as being engaged in comparatively ordinary journalism regarding a [[hospital]] scandal, though it was revealed that she was in fact tracking a [[Travast Polong]]. | ||
It was mainly notable for introducing [[Clyde Langer]]'s [[Carla Langer|mother]] and [[Paul Langer|father]]. Although Clyde's father was central, the story was unique in being the only one to feature the fathers of all three of the series' primary child characters, both past and current, in the same story, and also ended with Sarah Jane looking at a picture of her father, who would appear in [[The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith (TV story)|the next episode]]. | It was mainly notable for introducing [[Clyde Langer]]'s [[Carla Langer|mother]] and [[Paul Langer|father]].

* This is the first story where [[Mr Smith]] does not physically make an appearance. Sarah Jane shuts him down in her absence, and, when he is called upon, the wall panels do not open up to reveal him. Instead, an answering machine function activates and plays an automated message. However, his voice actor, [[Alexander Armstrong]], is still credited for his speaking lines in the role. | * This is the first story where [[Mr Smith]] does not physically make an appearance.
