Bar Shorts hosts a retrospective of the cult UK animated series, Dog Judo, which has just turned  21 years old. It follows a pair of dysfunctional anthropomorphic dogs trying to do "proper Judo". The show was originally commissioned by Virgin Mobile as animated content to promote their new camera phones and achieved millions of truly viral views. Virgin released the IP to the creators who went on to make a further 140 episodes featuring stars like Rik Mayall, Kathy Burke, Joe Pantoliano (best known for his role as Ralph Cifaretto in The Sopranos) and Simon Day.

The evening will feature a compilation of classic episodes and a Q&A (hosted by Chris Shepherd) with creators, the Dog & Rabbit animation studio, about comedy, judo and how the series could be a template for future brand funded animation.

There will also be classic Dog Judo T Shirts on sale at noughties prices.
