Well... do you like circuses, they're great for kids aren't they.

Welcome to To The Regiment and our review of series two episode four.

This week we ask the big questions, go for a chippy tea, pay the phone bill with a lump in your throat, and Tommy get's a new job.

Sorry for the little delay on this one. Let's blame tech.

See you soon for a episode five of series two, double header. A lot to talk about there.

RIP Mani. Adored.

It's quiz night. The Grapes is banging, well there's three extra people, and John Leslie is the talk of the town.

Hello and welcome to To The Regiment.

This week Phil and Ben are talking about episode three of series two. We're at the quiz and this is rambling conversation about this episode, the background to it, and putting the world to right a little.

Anyway, I think the answer is Con Carne Eddie...

Enjoy.
