AFT Torchwood & Doctor Who: Oktoberfest

It’s Oktoberfest time! My figures enjoy their beer and pretzels. I even have a brass orchestra!

The houses in the background are cardboard packages for wine bottles. I’ve kept them for many years.
Because of her costume Astrid always ends up as a serving lady in my pictures. Sorry Astrid! And the guy next to her looks as if he already had enough ;)

Jack brought both his old and new boyfriend - will that work out? Reason for more beer on John’s part, I guess.

Great comment in the William Shatner Facebook group:

- Doctoberfest....any time anyplace. by Ronald Kinsey Jr.

Detailed pictures under the cut!

For some odd reason Oktoberfest is indeed in September. Don't ask me why! Maybe it is to welcome October? It started last weekend with a big parade and will go till next weekend. Although I hear this year it is not so full as in other years. I mean, it's understandable, with pictures like this: https://twitter.com/Dietmar_Bauer/status/777440672945242112

The band members were chosen for who had the best hands to hold the instruments. The lady in the band is from Primeval. I bought some Primeval figures just to get these cool computer screens that came with them. I've never even watched the show! I tried to use some less well known figures, just ordinary people, not necessarily the Doctor. If you look with sharp eyes, you will see Eleven even in two incarnations ;) But when I saw the raggedy Doctor while looking through my figures, I couldn't resist LOL He's perfect for the drunken man!

Would have been even nicer if Astrid wore a Dirndl ;)

Maybe the weather is better in September than in October... sometimes?

It would suit her :)

But why not call it Septemberfest then?

I just am about to post something with Kirk and Spock as well, stay tuned ;)

I don't know, to ask on pub quizzes when the Oktoberfest starts and hope people get it wrong? Like with the October Revolution in Russia :)

Awesome!
