This thread is amazing.
Yeah, no kidding, I've just volunteered myself to do secondary glazing (for the olds) as I've had two customers highly recommended it (double over single). Out of my standard zone but I'll try and share resources/suppliers . I haven't told them but I'm expecting the first will be in by March - hoping it'll be shockingly simple with the only bore being getting the existing windows upto a good paint standard

Thank you - having kept an eye on it this weekend I think you're right, the primary problem isn't with ventilation but with temperature differential. Even with the top window open the condensation appears and doesn't disappear until the sun shines on the window - whether the room is occupied or not, and across both elevations of the house.
We have radiators under the windows which don't currently work - I'm going to try to get those working first to see if that makes a difference.
@rhowe great experiment - I've tried it and it made zero difference. I'm going to try with another shower head, see if that's where the problem lies.
This thread is amazing. It's so great that people who have been in this position are sharing their experience with us noobs. I've been living in flats for the last 30 years of my life and I'm amazed at the amount of basics I don't know.
