I've been tracking BA59 for tonight like you Hearingdouble (I'm also on it) and the good news is that Flightradar changed late last night from G-CIVP to G-CIVO - so it should be a refitted plane with new IFE.
G-CIVO arrived even earlier at 9:05am this morning from Denver- I guess that for the long layovers like that the plane is towed to engineering (I fear minimal hoovering based on the images on here) but for only just over 3 hours planes like G-CIVC will simply remain at the gate between flights.

Fingers crossed for better luck on the return leg.
[EDIT: Sometimes I really don't understand BA's frame allocation. Hot-off-the-press G-CIVC is currently scheduled to fly the 18:15 to CPT, even though it only lands from Vegas at 14:55. G-CIVP, on the other hand, is scheduled to fly the 21:30, despite arriving from Miami at 12:40. Does anyone have any insight into how frames get allocated at T3? Perhaps G-CIVP needs 8 hours of hoovering between rotations...]
