Detained (TV story)
Detained was the sixth episode of the first series of Class. It saw the Coal Hill gang trapped in their physics classroom, nowhere in time and space.
This episode was notable for being "Quill-lite", minimally including the character of Miss Quill at all and focusing more on the students themselves, and their relationships. It is also the first story since the Doctor Who episode Midnight to feature an enemy that doesn't actually physically appear.
Synopsis
