No. Apparently, hubby Neil was laid up sick (I think I read somewhere that
he had appendicitis, but I could be wrong), so she stayed at home.

As far as I'm concerned, it's just a nervous tick - the reason for
including it several times is that not only does David Tenant do it, but so
does Brendan Gleeson: it's a cinematic hint that a correspondence should be
drawn between the two characters.

He was younger when he was incarcerated? :-)

That would have made him look more like a stereotypical movie vampire,
which whilst an appropriate image per se, would have been a little
misleading if you ask me. Personally, I was hoping for more serpentine eyes
(as I think I've already mentioned). I also suspect that fangs would make
talking a little difficult (although long teeth would tend to accentuate
sibilants, which would be more than appropriate...).
