Where were you when PJ got blinded by paintballs in Byker Grove? Well obviously i was sat in front of my TV when i was a kid watching this classic episode of the kids drama. From my sketchy memory PJ had been seeing 2 girls who decided to get revenge on him when they found out about each other! Unbeknown to PJ these girls were dead-eye shots (Texans probably) and hit him with 2 paintballs, 1 in each eye! He would have been fine if he hadn't have taken his bloody mask off!

Then to top it all off his best mate Duncan stole his girlfriend from under his nose! Who would have thought from these humble beginnings we'd have the Ant and Dec of today!

Anyway its one of those moments in TV that everyone my age remembers. The pinnacle of the series. Classic!

Another classic paintballing scene, in fact this was the scene that made me think about PJ, can be seen in Spaced: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1yuhBtdHL0
