I think the hint you mentioned is the best we're going to get and I like it. The Sarah-Jane Adventures was brilliant like that, and her outlining what happened is lovely

Rani - "Do you think there's lots of Jo Grants out there? You know, like the Doctors old companions?"

Sarah-Jane "I do a little research sometimes."

Clyde - "What do you google, TARDIS?"

Sarah-Jane - "Hey, it works! Well, no, I can't be sure but - there's a woman called Tegan, in Australia, fighting for Aboriginal rights, there's Ben and Polly, in India, running an orphanage there, oh - there was Harry. Oh, I loved Harry - he was a doctor, he did such good work with vaccines, he saved thousands of lives - oh and there's a Dorothy something, she runs that company A Charitable Earth, she's raised billions. And this couple in Cambridge, both professors; Ian and Barbara Chesterton. Rumour has it they've never aged, not since the sixties.... I wonder."

All that and a mention of Dr Shaw being busy on UNIT's moonbase. :)

Certainly Ace's fate there is a lot more reassuring than what the books/comics did, what with her being dead, or some sort of timestream-riding geek-fantasy "bad girl with a gun"*, or a Time Lord 2.0

* Though if you ever get a chance, try to get Sohpie Aldred to tell her stories about the day they took these photo's for the "New Adventures" book series, they're a hoot! :)
