Speaking to The Sunday Times, Fisher said: ‘It wasn’t pleasant, but we got into it.’
‘For me, I approached it as, “How did your marriage stay together?” and you’ll see how he responds,’ he went on. ‘I talked with both of them about the difficulties they went through.’
Producer John Battsek added: ‘They were both signed up to telling us whatever we wanted to know. I’m sure you’ll say, “Of course you would say that.” But they were. There was no, “You will not ask that or do that.”
‘Fisher and I thought that might be the case, but we were clear from the start that we would only do this if we could go in any direction we wanted. And we did.’
A teaser clip for the Beckham documentary has shown Victoria and David lifting the lid on their first attraction to one another.
The pair met at a charity football match in 1997 and have now given an insight into that first meeting and what they thought of each other.
Showing off her relaxed side while sitting on a sofa in the clip, Victoria said: ‘The fact I went to the games really was to – some might say I stalked him, I would say see him.’
Victoria admitted that when she saw David after a match by the bar in the Manchester United players’ lounge, he caught her eye because he was with his parents and clearly a family man.
She said: ‘When I saw him in the footballers’ lounge, all the other footballers were at the bar, and he was standing and talking to his parents, and I’m very close to my family, and I loved that side to him.’
Giving his side of the story, David simply said of their first meeting: ‘I just fancied her.’

While Victoria gushed: ‘I just fancied him, it was as simple as that.’
It proved to be love at first sight for the couple, who went on to tie the knot at a castle outside Dublin just two years later in 1999.
However, their romance wasn’t always plain-sailing as David’s mother Sandra told how she feared her son would ‘lose everything’ when he started dating Victoria.
In the documentary, Sandra confessed she was worried David would get side-tracked from his career at Manchester United when Spice Girl Victoria came on the scene.
She said: ‘We’d were worried he would lose everything he worked for because football had always come first and then all of a sudden it wasn’t.’
But, David and Victoria instead became a brand where they gained lucrative contracts with clothing designers, health and fitness specialists, fashion magazines, and perfume and cosmetics manufacturers.
Despite now being a power couple, at the start of her relationship with David, Victoria said she was told by her manager at the time to ‘keep it under wraps’.

In the clip David – who drove as Victoria sat in the back – said: ‘It’s all right Buster. They can’t get in the car.’
Looking back on the period, Victoria added: ‘It’s entertaining when the circus comes to town, right? Unless you’re in it.’
Elsewhere, David appeared to have a conflicting opinion to his former Man United manager Alex Ferguson, as he told how his fame catapulted due to the interest into his relationship with Victoria: ‘It definitely didn’t change me.’
But Alex, 81, then said: ‘Well he changed. There’s no doubt about that.’
An emotional David Beckham also said he didn’t ‘sleep’ or ‘eat’ after he was blamed for England’s World Cup 1998 exit as he retold the story in the Netflix documentary.

The documentary will go into unprecedented depth as it covers the stresses and pressures that dogged Beckham and his family through his professional career.
Speaking about the World Cup exit in 1998, he said: ‘I don’t think I’ve ever talked about it just because I can’t.
‘I wasn’t eating. I wasn’t sleeping. It took a toll on me that I never even knew myself.’
The documentary promises the show the former England international’s rise from ‘humble working-class beginnings’ up to his glamorous days at Manchester United, Real Madrid and beyond.
Further clips show heartwarming home video of their children and wedding day, alongside resurfaced interviews with the star in his prime.
From the trailer alone, it seems a large portion will be focused on David’s relationships both off and on the pitch.
After England’s round of 16 stage defeat, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid winger then had to watch on as England went on to lose the match on penalties.
The footballer was constantly booed and jeered by fans of opposition clubs for the majority of the following 1998-99 season, with a burning effigy of him and death threats among the worst of the backlash to his red card.
David also touched on the famous dressing room incident between himself and Sir Alex Ferguson, where the United coach supposedly kicked a boot at the England star.
He appeared to admit that he ‘went at’ his manager after the incident as he discussed the furore with an interviewer.

Netflix says ‘the series takes you on that rollercoaster and builds a surprising, personal and definitive story of one of the most recognisable and scrutinised athletes of all time’.
This includes David’s relationship with his wife Victoria – as they trace their family life through his career.
Since retiring from the sport, David has taken on a number of ambitions, such as his ownership role with MLS side Inter Miami.
Earlier this summer, the club secured one of the most startling transfers in football history as Beckham managed to convince Lionel Messi to join the club.
BECKHAM is available to stream on Netflix on October 4 from 8am.
