Story: The Sarah Jane Adventures: The Curse of Clyde Langer
Written By: Phil Ford
Length: 2 Episodes
Year: 2011

Fish rain from the sky, and the investigation leads Sarah Jane and Co. to a museum housing a totem pole, which has a legend of doing something similar. Clyde pricks his finger on it and soon anyone who hears or says his name hates his guts.
The story is decent, and the performance from Daniel Anthony drives the whole thing as the rest of the cast get angry and shout nasty things at him. I liked this, slightly better than I liked the premiere story, and I think the character of Sky is nicely integrating into the cast as a sort of psuedo-replacement for Luke. I’m glad they went the opposite route, a somewhat alien kid who has no concept of the world around her, as opposed to the boy genius that was Luke. I think the episode did a decent job of handling the homeless issue, without making it too preachy for the kids.

So decent episodes, not the best, but certainly not the worst the show has offered, at its very least it was entertaining.
