David Beckham: For the Love of the Game Page #6

- Welcome to Djibouti. - Thank you.

'After seven hours in the air,

it's nice to get behind the wheel.'

- You all right back there, kids?

- Are we there yet? - Yeah, we're ok.

'It's just like doing

the school run at home.'

So how do you feel

in our third country?

Excited to be in another place.

(ENGINE GROWLS)

And first gear.

I think this is part of the trip

that was always going to be

more challenging than

the other places we're going to.

'I'm heading to a refugee camp

two-and-a-half hours

'away from my third game.

'The delay in India means

I need to put my foot down

'if we're going to get there

before sundown.'

(CAR HORN BLARES)

There's some sh*t coming

out of that exhaust.

What's coming out the exhaust?

The joys, the joys.

(SIREN WAILS)

I'm not sure how long

this Land Rover is going to last.

Davver is looking slightly nervous.

Different day, different country,

same banter.

Ah, the smell of Djibouti.

The smell of your-booty.

It's like Only Fools and Horses

when the radio starts smoking.

(LAUGHTER)

Don't know where it's coming out of,

but it's coming out of somewhere.

Good job this is not one of the most

dangerous roads in the world(!)

(CAR BEHIND BEEPS HORN)

Wait.

'After an hour,

our truck has given up.'

- Watch the car, watch the car.

- I'm going backwards. - Going backwards.

Seriously.

'We're already up against it,

so this is the last thing we need.'

What?

It's this one here.

Push it up. Ready? Go.

Right, got it. Got it, got it.

Engine blew up.

It's not my fault.

Thank you.

'We have no choice

but to swap our car

'with the one

carrying the camera gear.'

- Good job it ain't hot, Davver.

- Pardon? - Good job it ain't hot.

No, you're right.

Good job we're not broke down

on a busy road either.

This geezer is devastated

he's had to give us his car.

Did not want to give us it,

by the way.

- Did you just pull over and say, "Get out the car, please"?

- Yeah.

We've got a radio in this,

and air-con.

- Camel on your right, camel on your right...

- Bump in the road.

There's a hump in the road.

Oh, it's a camel.

(CAR THUMPS)

There we go.

So much hard work has gone into this.

I think once people realise that we

are hoping to go to seven continents

and play seven games, the seventh

obviously being the Old Trafford one,

they will be pretty amazed by that.

I think it is going to be emotional,

to be honest, I think it is

going to be one of those days

that actually is more emotional,

as it gets closer,

than I ever thought it would be.

Do you think that
