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
A mysterious asteroid throws Charlie, April, Ram, Matteusz and Tanya out of space and time and Miss Quill is nowhere to be found.

They now have to confess their deepest and darkest secrets to each other without losing their minds. Can they stick together to fight the Prisoner or will their confessions split them apart?
