But what actually was the importance of the seven alarm clocks? Who committed the murders? And how did the whole series come to an end?
Read on for everything you need to know about the ending of Agatha Christie's Seven Dials.
Agatha Christie's Seven Dials ending explained: Who killed Gerry?
In the final episode of Seven Dials, Lorraine made off with Dr Matip's formula, which had been designed to create metal so impervious that "war would no longer have purpose". It could also be a gamechanger in the wrong hands.
Bundle came to believe that Lorraine was behind the murders of Gerry and Ronnie, and chased her on to a train along with Jimmy and Bill.
When on the train, Bill, who revealed he had a gun, went on ahead to confront Lorraine. Left behind, Jimmy tried to convince Bundle that Bill may have been in cahoots with Lorraine, and part of it all along.
However, as a stand-off ensued, Jimmy revealed that he was actually Lorraine's partner in crime.
It had all started with Gerry's death - Lorraine had laced his champagne with poison throughout the night of the party, and then left the bottle by his bedside table to make it look like a suicide.
Meanwhile, Jimmy had placed the clocks on the mantelpiece to complicate things, because he knew Ronnie and Bill were messing around with them, and he heard Gerry mention the Seven Dials organisation.
Later, Jimmy had killed Ronnie after he had worked out too much, and had arranged to talk with him.
Finally, Jimmy had faked an attack on himself previously, shooting himself in the arm so he could divert attention away from himself, while also allowing Lorraine time to drug Matip and steal his formula.
Jimmy did it all for the money, because he was in serious debt. He offered to cut Bundle in, but she refused, horrified that that was why he did it all.
However, he revealed that he was not the brains behind the whole operation, and that Lorraine had been on the train for a reason - to hand over the formula to whoever the mastermind was.
As Bill found Lorraine and locked her away in a cupboard onboard the train, Bundle knocked Jimmy out and headed to the front of the train where the handover was taking place.
Who was behind it all?
As Bundle made her way to the front of the train, she was horrified to learn that it was her own mother, Helena Bonham Carter's Lady Caterham, who was behind it all.
Devastated by her son's death, which she blamed on a "deluded, drunken, general", and left penniless after her husband died, she had put the plan together to sell the formula to foreign adversaries.
She did this due to a hatred of her own country, and also because she needed the money to pay for her and Bundle's lifestyles. Were they to lose Chimneys, Lady Caterham said they would have nothing left - no home and no status.
The party at Chimneys was always designed so Lady Caterham could gather intelligence about the formula, and she recruited Jimmy and Lorraine to help her.
In truth, Lady Caterham had never planned to kill Gerry - that was all Lorraine, who believed he had uncovered their plan and took drastic action.
Bundle was horrified to discover the truth and held her mother at gunpoint until Superintendent Battle arrived to arrest her. Jimmy and Lorraine were also taken into custody.
Who were the Seven Dials Committee and what did Bundle decide?
At the end of the series, Bundle was brought into the headquarters of the Seven Dials organisation at gunpoint.
Once there, she found six figures wearing cloaks and fencing masks with clock faces on. One of them took off their mask to reveal he was in fact... Superintendent Battle!
Battle revealed that the Seven Dials club was in no way responsible for the deaths of Gerry or Ronnie, and was in fact an organisation working to keep the world safe in "turbulent times".
All along, Battle had been trying to protect Dr Matip and his formula.
Bundle's father had actually been a member of the club, and had been on a mission to meet Matip in Spain when he died. He was killed by the club's enemies, who had discovered their existence and their plans.
Lord Caterham's involvement with Seven Dials, and his knowledge of the formula's existence, is how Lady Caterham had found out about it in the first place - she had, in recent years, dined with those who knew him, and who liked to gossip.
Having revealed this, Battle then made a proposition to Bundle - he wanted Bundle to join them. He had been assessing her all this time, and deemed that she had the right skills to assist their organisation.
Bundle accepted Battle's offer, for a life of espionage, peril and international travel. She put on her new mask, and formally joined the Seven Dials club.
