False Gods was a 2008 Big Finish full-cast audio short story featuring the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Hex.
It was notable for featuring Benedict Cumberbatch's first appearance in performed Doctor Who and for showing a Time Lord other than the Doctor confronting the legal ramifications of breaking the Laws of Time.
