False Gods was the first story in the audio anthology, Forty-Five, which comprised the one hundred and fifteenth release in Big Finish's monthly range. It was written by Mark Morris and featured Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, Sophie Aldred as Ace and Philip Olivier as Hex.
It was notable for showing a Time Lord other than the Doctor confronting the legal ramifications of breaking the Laws of Time.
