...on my way to an event telling myself how brilliant the car is and at destination it decides to not lock the passenger side door, and same side wing mirror also inactive... does this mean a wiring issue in the door? Is there a reboot style reset option (I know battery disconnect)?

I'm in a panic as the DBS is now sitting unlocked in a carpark opposite a gypsy caravan site

I'm in trouble

Lateral thinking... I like it. Can't seem to sort it. First real niggle with the car. Off to WS asap.

Sounds like the door module has gone to sleep and not come back on. You'll have to get it to a dealer to reset it.

Try the battery re-set/disconnect button in the boot.

The boot button doesn't switch off the door modules, they need to stay on to let the windows drop when you open the door when the switch has been activated. Also the button has been deleted from all models now so there's a chance it's not there anyway. I'm afraid it's a dealer fix only. If they can reset it to get it going it won't be in the shop for long.
