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.

Footnotes

  1. Although Voyage of the Damned is supposedly set the Christmas after the 2007 setting of The Runaway Bride, the Doctor Who series which aired immediately before and after Voyage give contradicting dates for when their present day is set. PROSE: The Paradox Moon places Martha Jones' present day in series 3 in June 2007. AUDIO: Recruits dates it to March 2008. A newspaper clipping in PROSE: The Secret Lives of Monsters places Smith and Jones 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 TV: The Fires of Pompeii, TV: The Waters of Mars, and AUDIO: SOS (and is heavily implied by TV: The Star Beast and TV: The Giggle), or in approximately April to June 2009, according to PROSE: Beautiful Chaos.
