The 5-years-old thing...and, in fact, her parents being dead was from a Sarah Jane bio that the BBC created in the 70s or early 80s. Nothing confirming this had ever been in dialogue or aired. It was widely known that the bio said this, and so it became fanon, but it was never established in official canon.
I'm just happy that they've established that Aunt Lavinia brought her up (which is something else we've 'always known' that I'm not sure was ever stated in canon) and that her parents have been declared officially dead from the time she was small. At least the mental backstory I've had on her all these years is not terribly disrupted. :-)
Also, WORD re: the gorgeous, the damned CBBC sign and an added, "OMG HOT IN GLASSES!"

I know, that was really annoying.
Like 'OH, LET'S JUST BLOCK OUT THE LEAD CHARACTER'S FACE!'
