Investigating further (OK, reading his wikipedia article), it seems that the Adventure stories are now owned by Fleming Literary Management, or were at the end of 2006.

Since they paid a reported six figure sum for the rights, you'd think they were planning to do something with them.

Although FLM seems to be still in business (from companies house info), they are overdue on filing accounts. They don't seem to have an active web site, and one of their co-founders is no longer with them (Simon Clegg)
