Clacton Chaos, Prince Harry, Trump & the ITV Takeover

Tonight's Episode

Just Buffering – Week Commencing 6 July 2026

Steve Hyland and Gordon Baxter return for another light-hearted (and occasionally exasperated) look at the week's biggest stories.

This week the pair dive into the increasingly bizarre Clacton by-election, where Count Binface, Laurence Fox, Nigel Farage and a growing list of candidates are turning politics into theatre.

They also discuss Prince Harry's latest court defeat, question whether one judge should decide major civil cases, and look at the backlash surrounding Rupert Lowe's controversial comments.

Across the Atlantic, Donald Trump continues to dominate headlines—from renaming airports to his latest international interventions—prompting the question: is politics becoming all about personality rather than policy?

Finally, Steve and Gordon explore the proposed Sky and ITV takeover, what it could mean for Coronation Street, ITV News and free-to-air television, and whether British broadcasting is entering a completely new era.

As always there's plenty of humour, a few disagreements, and absolutely no shortage of opinions.
