This special sketch was dedicated to the memory of [[John Sullivan (writer)|John Sullivan]] and [[Roger Lloyd-Pack]], who had both died prior to its broadcast.

== Synopsis ==
An unspecified amount of time after the series' last regular episode "[[Sleepless in Peckham]]", Del Boy is in Peckham market, trying to sell "Golden Balls" underpants which are supposedly endorsed and signed by David Beckham (in return for Del Boy securing a bouncy castle for the birthday party of one of Beckham's son's, Brooklyn, who Del incorrectly calls Brookside), with Rodney serving as a less-than-enthusiastic model. After failing to sell anything, the Trotters retreat to a nearby cafe, where Rodney complains about Del's treatment of him. Del apologises, mentioning several incidents where he had mistreated Rodney (in previous regular ''Only Fools and Horses'' episodes). It is then revealed that sharing the table with the two is David Beckham, who really has endorsed the underpants. The three briefly chat, including Rodney and Beckham discussing their favourite artist (Rodney choosing Matisse, and Beckham choosing [[Tony Hart]]), before Beckham gives Rodney tips on how to model underwear effectively, advising him to "glide" and "oscillate."

Later on, Del is again trying to sell the underpants, with Rodney putting on a bizarre, vaguely feminine walk, and being even more angry at Del than he was before, telling him "Derek, I'm going to kill you". Beckham is discreetly watching this, when a young boy walks up to him, and asks him if he's David Beckham. He says that he is, and signs the boy's football, but says not to tell anyone he is there, as he does not want to draw anymore attention to himself. Beckham then attempts to lean back on a goods cart, but a trader has moved it away while he wasn't looking and he falls to the ground (referencing a famous moment in the episode "[[Yuppy Love]]"), getting the attention of everyone in the market. Del and Rodney comment, "What a plonker!"<ref>[http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a559439/david-beckham-makes-only-fools-and-horses-cameo-shut-up-you-tart.html Digital Spy]</ref>
