False Gods (audio story) 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.

Notes
- Plans were in place for The Daily Telegraph to release this story as a free standalone download to accompany a feature article about the Big Finish Doctor Who Audio Dramas.[1] These plans were later postponed.[2]
Continuity
- Jane is a Time Lord, a Time Lord Academy student in "Year 45". At the time the Doctor meets her, she is in her 13th life, having used up her regenerations whilst stranded on Earth for thousands of years.
- The story enumerates two specific criminal offenses under Gallifreyan law. Jane says the punishment for interference is vaporisation. A "Class Two Intervention" is when a Time Lord sets her or himself up as a god in another culture. Its penalty is vaporization. A "Class One Intervention" is materially affecting the physical properties of a planet, such as its axial rotation.
- The story further claims that the way to kill a TARDIS is to pilot it into the heart of a star.
- Hex, according to False Gods, is good at making tea, and doesn't like basements.
Timeline
