While the Doctor and Yaz are hanging upside-down after being captured by Karvanista, the Doctor mentions a "very temperamental" explosive called Nitro-9, something that she used to destroy Karvanista's droid guards.
Created by companion Ace and carried inside cans, Nitro-9 has been seen in the show before, and was first introduced in the Seventh Doctor serial Dragonfire.
From here, it was used several times - it proved powerful enough to destroy Daleks in Remembrance Of The Daleks, and even a Cyber-shuttle in Silver Nemesis.
Seems like the Doctor borrowed a few tricks from an old friend!
