This documentary is a bit of a puff piece extra on the Rasputin The Mad Monk blu ray from studiocanal.
It features Jonathan Rigby and Mark Gatiss among others waxing lyrical about Hammer novelisations and tie-ins and even includes some original stuff from the new Hammer imprint.
A good chunk was devoted to John Burke who wrote the omnibuses of course.
Nothing revelatory in it but nice to see some of the authors get some acknowledgement of their place in Hammer history.

I just watched it. There is a strange bearded man in it talking about his correspondence with an old guy who was in the hospital or something.

this thread seems like the right place to ask about the three novelisations of revenge of frankenstein, which i've watched just now before posting:
in the film itself it's not shown that the baron has created a body in his own image to be used as a replacement should the need arise, and yet according to wikipedia he somehow had the foresight to do just that. did i miss anything or does any of the novelisations explain what happened? the more likely explanation would be that dr. cleve resurrected the same baron, although the assumption that baron von frankenstein in london is now "a frankenstein monster" himself is appealling. as for his presence in london, hammer should have followed that plot-line, as i see it. for all we know, he could have run into dracula there...i always felt that hammer missed an opportunity to creat a film in which peter cushing as van helsing finds out he's somehow related to baron von frankenstein and resorts to creating a monster as a weapon against vampires. in the absence of dracula, the von karnsteins would do just as well...
