The mystery of just what's going on, and whether Piper is actually playing the next Doctor, has kept fans guessing ever since, with major figures from the show's past and present including Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Steven Moffat, giving their thoughts.
Chibnall was speaking with us exclusively for our video interview series The Radio Times Writers' Room, in which we get to know what makes screenwriters tick, when he was asked whether he has any idea where the twist involving Piper is going.
"So I really, actually didn't want to know that Jodie was going to regenerate into David. But they were like, 'You have to know this because you're an exec on this episode.'"
"That's what takes you back to where you start as a five year old, or whatever, you're there watching Doctor Who and to be back in that position, having had your own TARDIS, in inverted commas - I didn't have a real TARDIS - but it's lovely to then go back and go, 'Oh, what's happening now?'"
Seven Dials, an adaptation of Christie's The Seven Dials Mystery, stars Mia McKenna-Bruce, Helena Bonham Carter and Martin Freeman, and follows unlikely sleuth Lady Eileen 'Bundle' Brent as she attempts to unravel a dangerous web of secrets.
