Watkyn Bassett

In the stories and novels of P. G. Wodehouse, Sir Watkyn Bassett is a magistrate in the Bosher Street courthouse in London, the father of Madeline Bassett, and Bertie Wooster's potential father-in-law on several occasions. He had once fined Bertie £5 for stealing a policeman's helmet on Boat Race Night and he is friends with Roderick Spode; consequently, he dislikes Bertie immensely.

Bassett is a noted collecter of antique silver, and his collection rivals that of Bertie's Uncle Tom Travers, causing Bertie, at his Aunt Dahlia's request, to attempt to burgle Bassett's residence, Totleigh Towers.

In the television series Jeeves and Wooster, Bassett is portrayed by John Woodnutt.
