Limbo shows that education can be a noble calling - just not for Alice, Francis or Neck, who are overeducated blaggers with no idea what to do with their lives and are more concerned with getting through lessons without vomiting, swearing and exposing their own profound ignorance than teaching!

It's a pretty depressing job but there is an upside - by milking money out of anxious parents, they remain responsibility-free and have endless time. They tell themselves they're on the cusp of great things but in reality they're trapped - spending far too much of their time with annoying kids and often becoming weirdly embroiled in their employers' private lives - cue Paul...
