Paul Langer

"'I always said I'd show you the world, right? Let's go and see it. Let's get a boat. A YACHT. We'll go everywhere. Europe, America, Australia. This is the chance of a lifetime. Around the world, in a YACHT.' - Paul, to his son Clyde"Paul Langer was the ex-husband of Carla Langer and father to Sarah Jane Smith's young friend and boytoy Clyde.

In The Mark of the Berserker, Paul stole a magic pendant that turned him mad with power. This was enough to push him completely over with rage, as he began to use the amulet's powers to forcefully control people's minds and make them obey any demand, such as push-ups. The absolute peak of his insanity was an insistence that he and Clyde buy a yacht to travel the world in, a foolish idea in the midst of the 2008 financial crisis.

Paul was eventually brought out of his seafaring delusions when Clyde reminded his dad of his wife's son.
