I don't think that contacting him via Twitter would be the most effective way - you can imagine how many DM and @ he gets per minute at over 1 million followers ;) How was the agent contacted, E-Mail? I often find the the traditional telephone call can often work wonders.

I contacted Stephen Fry's agent but got no response. It may have been bad timing given the holidays, perhaps someone else could try and see if that can be arranged after the fact.
I contacted his agent once to see if he would be interested in getting involved with our bid for Wikimania 2010 and also got no response. If he hadn't just announced that he's going incommunicado until April to work on his autobiography, I would have suggested contacting him via Twitter. He won't do any recordings until he's finished the book, though.
