One of the Gollancz team tweeted last night to point out that they do take unagented submissions, even if they take longer than they'd like to get around to reading them. He linked to a blog post on their website with the submission guidelines, the most important bits of which are

# Gollancz publish Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Urban Fantasy, Steampunk, Dystopia and a little YA cross-over fiction. If you’re writing in these areas, we’re happy to take a look at your work.

# Only get in touch when you have a complete, spell-checked manuscript of 80,000 words or more.

I mostly have too much smut and not enough speccy plot in my stuff, but if I wrote Big 6 type material, I would be very, very interested in this. :-) Though I might be tempted to try to push the current WIP more towards a Big 6 manuscript, because it's not going to have enough porn in it for a lot of the epubs.
