Ive just watched that as well - only one went around following a BA 737 that also went around the third aircraft, an Air2000
B757 then landed.
I would assume someone was late vacating or rolling hence the Excel and BA get to have another circuit of Crawley.

I was there, and heard it all. A Gulfstream G4 (or similar) was cleared on to RW26L and suffered a partial radio failure, but only on 124.22
He just sat there, lined up, while the tower tried to get rid of him, sending two aircraft round in the process.
He came back to 121.8 on his own initiative to be politely requested to return to Alpha 2, ASAP.
Don't know what happened after that, I was on my parking stand.
