Charlie higson was interviewed this morning on 'BBC Breakfast'.
He basically was asked identical questions that we have here, but said "the James Bond websites where against the idea, but now, they seem to be warming to it!".
Unfortunately, there are no links that I can include for you, or any reports. But I can say that he appeared quite relaxed and composed.
I have to admit, the more and more I hear about this series of books, I'm beginning to like the idea.
If your really here amongst us Mr Higson, ( "or may I call you XXX"
) fancy popping down the pub for a quick pint dear boy?. 
All the best,
Cheers,
Ian
