Netflix's latest documentary following the career of football ace David Beckham, got writer Rachel Allcock thinking about Jesus.
Maybe all you’ve seen of the number one Netflix series are hilarious take-offs of the "Be honest" clip (Cassandra Maria has three such reels @casseville). In the first episode, Victoria tries to convince the interviewer that she was "very working class". David puts his head around the door and interrupts her repeating: "Be honest!"
I didn’t think I’d invest much more in this series, but this - and many other down to earth moments - endeared me to the footballer in whom I’ve previously had only a fleeting interest. The fact he was initially attracted to "the posh one" makes her claim to come from a "very working-class" family even funnier.
