In a still from the film, Barry Morse reprises his role as Professor Victor Bergman.

The Return of Victor Bergman is a fan-produced short film scripted by Robert E. Wood and Barry Morse.

The film featured a new performance by Barry Morse and also uses clips (including Morse and various other actors) from the series.

Directed by Robert E. Wood. Produced by Anthony Wynn.

In the film, Bergman is shown collapsing on Moonbase Alpha and taken to the Medical Centre intensive care unit. Presumably an issue with his mechanical heart. Dr. Russell is unable to revive him, but she is able to place him in cryogenic stasis.

He is later revived and upon waking greets his fellow Alphans via Comloc-feed to the main viewer in Command Centre. The Alphans are gathered in Command Centre and Bergman greets many of them by name. He ends by saying, "To everything that was... (shakes his head) ...To everything yet to be!" The scene closes with Bergman giving a wink.
