- Quotes
Rodney: You know, I honestly thought you'd changed. But no, you're just the same old Del, ploughing through life without the slightest consideration for anyone else's feelings.
Del Boy: That hurts, Rodney. That really hurts. You just tell me one time, just one, when I have ignored you or hurt your feelings.
Rodney: Ah, well...
Del Boy: And don't go on about that painting competition. Or the Peckham Pouncer. Or the time I turned the knob up on the sunbed and made your face go red.

The nice thing for fans, other than seeing Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst back in their roles was that in terms of writing this sketch was in safe hands, with Jim and Dan Sullivan (John's sons) writing very much in their Dad's style and using some of his unused dialogue.
Is the sketch funny? It has its moments. David Beckham does a decent job and there are some nice laughs along the way.
The final joke though, with the homage to falling through the bar and Beckham handing John Sullivan's grandson a football are the moments that this sketch becomes iconic though.
I wouldn't want to see any more sketches like this produced, but as a one off this isn't bad.
