Hello and welcome to To The Regiment: The Early Doors Podcast with Phil Mealey.

In this episode we are jumping back into talking about series one and this time episode three. This episode is the first time we don't start with people (Tommy) getting there for opening, Liam gets busted, Eddie and Tommy sneak a peak, and the coppers, well they need to settle their nerves.

Phil and Ben also, as ever, talk about some behind the scenes gems as we get to know even more about The Grapes, Early Doors, and this amazing show.

Look out for a special guest at the end.

Hello and welcome to episode five of To The Regiment, the Early Doors podcast with Phil Mealey.

In this episode Ben and Phil are back to discuss the Early Doors episodes and get a behind the scenes look at how the show was made, behind the scenes stories, probably some chat about last season football, and I think Ben was off to see Pulp that night.

Phil and Ben talk about episode two of series one, we get more on the Big Boys Beano, we meet Liam for the first time, and hear about the best dinner under £5, all on an oval plate.

Thank you again for listening and letting people know about the show. We really appreciate it.

Next week, well you'll have to listen for an Easter Egg at the end of the episode. Special Guest Number Two incoming.

Hello and welcome to episode four of To The Regiment, The Early Doors Podcast with Phil Mealey.

In this episode we speak to one half of the heart of Early Doors, Lorraine Cheshire AKA Joan Bell. Phil and Ben caught Lorraine over zoom last year. For those trying to date the recordings by football chat, Phil had just seen Man United lose at Wembley.

We talk about her life in the Grapes, working across from Mark Benton as her on screen husband Eddie, being the heart of the show, and the legacy the show has given her. And a lot more.

Thank you for listening, we hope you enjoy it and remember to tell your friends who may not have heard about the podcast yet. And also give Lorraine a message on Twitter/X to show the love.

See you in two weeks when Phil and Ben get back into the episodes with Series One Episode Two.
