A vone was a communication technology used by the people of Sto.
On board a cruise of the spaceship replica of the Titanic in the 2000s,[nb 1] Rickston Slade used his vone to buy and sell shares. Foon and Morvin Van Hoff won tickets for the same cruise in a competition which Foon dialled the line for 5,000 times. This led to Foon hiding the 5,000 credit vone bill from Morvin for months. (TV: Voyage of the Damned [+]Loading...["Voyage of the Damned (TV story)"])
Behind the scenes
- The BBC iPlayer subtitles for Voyage of the Damned [+]Loading...{"timestamp":"4:55 and 28:51","ed":"iPlayer","1":"Voyage of the Damned (TV story)"} consistently use vone to describe the device the people of Sto use to send and receive calls, and both Gray O'Brien and Debbie Chazen pronounce the word that way.
- Similar to Vot being close to the word for God in the context it was used, a vone is evidently a type of Sto mobile phone.
- In the same way, the time tourists who visited the Dalek Dome in Liberation of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Liberation of the Daleks (comic story)"] used a device called a fone.
- Similar to Vot being close to the word for God in the context it was used, a vone is evidently a type of Sto mobile phone.
Footnotes
- ↑ Although Voyage of the Damned [+]Loading...["Voyage of the Damned (TV story)"] is supposedly set the Christmas after the 2007 setting of The Runaway Bride [+]Loading...["The Runaway Bride (TV story)"], the Doctor Who series which aired immediately before and after Voyage give contradicting dates for when their present day is set. The Paradox Moon [+]Loading...["The Paradox Moon (short story)"] places Martha Jones' present day in series three in June 2007. Recruits [+]Loading...["Recruits (audio story)"] dates it to March 2008. A newspaper clipping in The Secret Lives of Monsters [+]Loading...["The Secret Lives of Monsters (short story)"] places Smith and Jones [+]Loading...["Smith and Jones (TV story)"] on a Sunday 4 June, which in the real world does not fall on a Sunday in either 2007 or 2008. Donna Noble's present day in series 4 is set in 2008 according to The Fires of Pompeii [+]Loading...["The Fires of Pompeii (TV story)"], The Waters of Mars [+]Loading...["The Waters of Mars (TV story)"], and SOS [+]Loading...["SOS (audio story)"] (and is heavily implied by The Star Beast [+]Loading...["The Star Beast (TV story)"] and The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"]), or in approximately April to June 2009, according to Beautiful Chaos [+]Loading...["Beautiful Chaos (novel)"].
