Do the arm movements of the woman in 73 Yards mean anything?

Question

Throughout the episode, the figure of the old woman is looping a series of movements.

Is this some sort of sign language, or have any other standard meaning, or has been explained by the production team?

Answer 1

From the imdb Trivia page for this episode:

In reality, the choreographed movements and words Hilary Hobson mouthed on camera - not the dialogue the 73 Yard Woman says to people to make them run, which Russell T. Davies is happy to leave to viewer's imaginations - went along the lines of "Bless you, thank you so much (shrug); that's so kind of you, when you gave me that little thing (circular hand movement), it was just so precious (hands to heart); how am I ever going to repay you? (big shrug) But we'll think of something."
