David Beckham Lovers

In a new trailer released by the BBC, the father-of-four can be seen poking fun at his alleged dense persona as he sits in a cafe with stars of the show - Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst.

Asked by Del Boy why he's wearing a pair of geeky glasses, Beckham replies: "To be honest, I thought that if I was to wear these, no one would recognise me and I could be a little bit incognitive."

Obviously, what the former footballer meant to say was "incognito" but the Cockney brothers fail to correct him on this and instead exchange a few fed up glances and roll their eyes whilst David is completely unaware of his mistake.

Sir David looks his usual wheeler-dealer self in the trailer, which sees him sporting a patterned flat cap, a gold chain and an array of gold rings.

David, meanwhile, looks his usual dapper self in a black coat, which he wears with his collar up and his hair perfectly coiffed into a quiff.

Earlier this week, Sir David revealed that it was actually David's idea to revive the classic comedy for Sport Relief.

He told The Michael McIntyre Show: "He said he had always loved Only Fools And Horses and that it would be great to do something with me and Nick. So then the grapevine started to work as these things do."

The actor also admitted that he didn't think the show would return following the death of it's creator John Sullivan, however, he was happy to sign up after reading the script.

"Once I read the script that they intended to do, and I said yes I would do it, it was so much of Sullivan and so much of Only Fools And Horses the original, that I said, 'Yes, let's do it.'" he explained.

"When I got together with Nick for the first run-through it came back like that. I didn't even have to think about it.

"It's like anything, it's like falling off a log. As soon as I put on the gear and started to look at the script, back it came."

However, it wasn't so straightforward for David - who admitted that he found the experience nerve-wracking.

"The day of filming started off with a slightly sleepless night, going over my script," he told the Radio Times. "The thought of being on set with Nicholas and David was obviously very nerve-racking."
