A Rochdale teenager with a passion for filmmaking and music has received a surprise visit from comedian Rufus Hound – who came to deliver a brand new PC.
The visit was part a national campaign by Windows, who are ambushing PC owners who have out-of-date old computers with brand new ones.
James Oldham, 19, won after being considered deserving following a post on a social networking site.
He said: “I couldn’t believe that Rufus Hound came to my house.”
He added: “I can now properly pursue my passion for filmmaking and music and will be able to edit and release media easily, quickly and beautifully.”
