'''''The Curse of Clyde Langer''''' was the second serial of [[Series 5 (SJA)|series 5]] of ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. It was written by [[Phil Ford]], directed by [[Ashley Way]] and featured [[Elisabeth Sladen]] as [[Sarah Jane Smith]], [[Daniel Anthony]] as [[Clyde Langer]], [[Anjli Mohindra]] as [[Rani Chandra]], [[Sinead Michael]] as [[Sky Smith]] and [[Alexander Armstrong]] as [[Mr Smith]].


It was notable for its frank depiction of a modern-day social ill — [[homeless]]ness — and its atypical ambiguous conclusion, in contrast to the usual ''SJA'' "happy ending".

True to the title of the story, events that transpired focused heavily on [[Clyde Langer]]. This would also mark the unintended final appearance of [[Haresh Chandra]] and [[Carla Langer]], due to the sudden death of [[Elisabeth Sladen]].
