Former England soccer captain David Beckham is joining forces with two of Britain’s most loveable comedy rogues to make a special appearance in a charity sketch of the sitcom “Only Fools and Horses”.
It is the first time in 10 years that actors David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst will reunite as brothers Derek and Rodney Trotter, and Beckham jumped at the chance to be involved. The last “Only Fools and Horses” reunion was a 2003 Christmas special.
The charity Comic Relief said in a statement on Tuesday that the sketch would be broadcast as part of a star-studded television night on March 21.
“To be able to record a new ‘Only Fools and Horses’ sketch is in itself very special but for David Beckham, who is a huge fan of the show, to be part of this is truly brilliant,” said Comic Relief Chief Executive Kevin Cahill, Reuters informs.
