We all get things wrong, and we all have our pet ways of acknowledging error. Whenever I’ve screwed up over the last 30 years or so I’ve been saying “I made a mistake” the way Michael Caine says it in this scene from Get Carter (’71). The other Caine/Carter line I do reasonably well is “I would like…to stroke you.” I’m nowhere near Coogan and Brydon, of course, but who is?
