Alfie Wicker (Jack Whitehall) was always a loser; the kid that everyone gave up hope in, dropping back year after year at school and at University, but, in the end he scraped through and got his PGCSE, and now, he's got his first job as a teacher of a support class. His class is made up of pupils struggling to get through their GCSE's and its his job to give them extra tuition in a selection of key topics. So, in a highly ironic way, he's now kind of teaching himself eight years previously. Its just that a love interest, a computer game or the opportunity of getting off his head sometimes, well, complicate things.
