Acting on behalf of the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]] during the [[First Omega Crisis]], [[Goth]] masqueraded as the fictional character [[Lemuel Gulliver]] in the [[Land of Fiction]] to monitor the [[Second Doctor]]. When the Doctor recognised him and feared he would be taken to Gallifrey for trial, Goth told the Doctor that "that time is long in your future and long in our past."

Prior to the trial, [[the Doctor]] had been hiding from the [[Time Lord]]s due to violating their laws. By one account, he was put on trial solely for the charge of breaking the [[non-interference policy]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The War Games (TV story)|The War Games]]'') Other accounts indicated he had two charges, but that the second, [[The Doctor and Susan's escape from Gallifrey|stealing a TARDIS]], was incredibly minor compared to the first. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Trial of Doctor Who (short story)|The Trial of Doctor Who]]'', ''[[Doctor Who and the War Games (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the War Games]]'') A third account indicated his charge was breaking the [[First Law of Time]] by meeting the [[Sixth Doctor]] while on a mission from the [[Celestial Intervention Agency]], and that he'd only been hiding from the Time Lords since then.
