Oh, I do love this passage:

"Entitled Devil May Care, the book, by Sebastian Faulks, is the 15th to feature suave secret agent 007."

I guess that Raymond Benson and John Gardner no longer count. Although the report then goes on to contradict itself saying

" His family originally asked three authors to continue the Bond tradition, including novelist Kingsley Amis, but with mixed success. "

Typical BBC, not knowing what they are reporting and cutting and pasting from other sources.

Additionally, slightly bizarrely, is the statement "The most recent novels published were adaptations from films."

Eh?
