I'm mildly curious too - loads of OW options SYD-LHR that go out after the BA flight (QF, CX, QR, MH) plus the usual Middle East & Asian carriers. The original BA aircraft still needs to come back though, so I suspect it would be cheaper to put everyone in a hotel for the night. You'd hope F/J/Golds got looked after if they needed to travel that day.
