Tim Burton is the answer. One of Burton's first film projects was a six minute short called Vincent (narrated by Mr Price) >Burton also made Batman, Ed Wood and Sleepy Hollow.

he can neglect to turn on his journey meter in favour of blatantly tucking you up for a few extra sovereigns on a trip you have taken several hundreds of times.
