Clyde has fought Slitheen, Gorgons, Slitheen-Blathereen, Tricksters, Graske, Clowns, Sontarans, Berserkers, Warriors, Judoon and so much more (but despite all this, Sarah Jane doesn't want him to go skateboarding). He is upset when Maria has to leave the gang and head for Washington DC, but they keep in touch. Clyde instantly fancies new companion of Sarah Jane, Rani Chandra who is said to replace Maria on Bannerman Road. Clyde's dad visited him shortly after he joined the gang, but Clyde didn't know his Dad was becoming a Berserker. In Series 4 Episode 5 Clyde is sent to 1941 to find a time-changing object in The Second World War with a boy named, George. As a fact, Clyde is the longest companion of Sarah Jane Smith. He is astonished to see Sky, Sarah Jane's new daughter arrive. In Series 5 Episode 2 the episode focuses on him when he is cursed and everyone hates him. An episode later he helps the gang defeat SERF. Clyde Langer is much loved by his mother, Carla Langer after his father moved out and never came back!

In the following episode, Rani Chandra came into the series as a replacement for Maria Jackson. Clyde had feelings towards Rani and didn't want her to find out about what they did. Soon everyone else in the group come to like Rani and she soon becomes a part of the gang.

RelationshipsEdit

Luke SmithEdit

When Clyde was introduced in Revenge of the Slitheen, he thought Luke was weird and didn't want anything to do with him. That soon changed when he was interested in what him and Maria where doing after school. He soon started to like both Maria and Luke. He soon treated Luke like the brother he never had.

Carla LangerEdit

Clyde is very close to his mum and they appear to have a good relatonship and get along great. She is very protective of Clyde and this was shown in The Mark of the Berserker. When Clyde gets cursed, he is hurt the most when his mum can't stand to look at him in The Curse of Clyde Langer.

Paul LangerEdit

Clyde is not that close to his dad since he barely gets to know him when he returned in The Mark of the Berserker.

Rani ChandraEdit

Clyde obviously fancies Rani and Rani fancies him too. In The Woman In The Attic, Clyde didn't resent Rani for wanting him gone. Also, in The Empty Planet, Clyde and Rani became a lot closer in the time they were alone.

Other InformationEdit

Clyde and Rani Chandra are grounded on Earth by The Judoon.
