I saw it too in the end! Not in London, but later, when it was touring.
Kicking myself for not having seen it while still in London, although it's been a long and nasty year or so and probably that (and the cost of the tickets for seeing it in Londinium) accounts for it to some extent. Perfect Nonsense was so, so much fun.
In my memory of it, both Stiffy and Sir Watkyn Bassett were played by Jeeves. Wasn't there a scene at the end where Jeeves manages, solo, to portray the argument about whether Stiffy will marry Stinker Pinker or Wooster? And a pipe prop with a moustache stuck to it was involved somewhere, as well as some very clever tailoring,
I had a feeling Seppings was Spode and Aunt Dahlia - I have some memory of Seppings climbing down from his mobile Spode fortress/tower wearing high heels and a dress concealed behind the coat of the Great Dictator - but it's been a while, so I could be wrong about that too :)
