I grew up in the noughties (British) and for ages since then, I’ve always had this fragmented memory of this episode of a tv show, likely on CBBC or CITV, it was a live action show. In this episode, a teacher instructs the caretaker to construct a cage for the back of the classroom. Later in the episode, as the teacher is teaching, you can see a student stood in the cage watching from the back of the class.
Always struck me as kind of a weird thing. Any idea what this would be? What show and what episode it might be? It’s been driving me insane for years and Google is no help (nor Reddit)!!!
I had to look up what the noughties was, so I am already a few steps behind. But maybe this kind of list might help

Thanks. It’s a good idea, although I can only remember a few very specific clips of 1 episode of whatever it was, and I’m not sure if I could figure it out on that basis just from the series title. But ill give the list a look anyway, thanks for the suggestions
I can still hear the theme…
I don’t remember it being that whacky though.
After having done more research on the episode (despite not having been able to find the episode itself) I believe that this could be it and I may have just simply misremembered minor details about what my young brain was seeing on the screen. Thank you
That is an excellent suggestion, many thanks. I need to look into this more though, as I seem to remember the cage being used as a form of punishment rather than as a statement.
That was a documentary. Its how we handle unruly schoolkids here.
Was it whacky or serious? Demon Headmaster?
Idk, I literally remember that clip and nothing else. It wasn’t something I was watching per se. Just something playing in the background that I happened to see those clips, so I don’t know whether it was a comedy, drama, etc. I’ll check out the headmaster one. Also it was a female teacher who requested the cage, and a male caretaker if that narrows it down.
ETA: just looked up the headmaster one and I couldn’t find an episode around a female teacher commissioning a cage, fairy sure it wasn’t that, but thanks anyway for the suggestion.
It’s from the 00s, “noughties” makes me want to vomit
What about the aughts? I think that was a common way they referred to 1900-1909
aughts is fine, turn of the millenium is fine.
Eh, when I hear turn of the millenium, I just remember back when people were using that for the 1,000’s. Such a cringe time…
