Bert Newton would often cross to his floor manager, Belvedere, during his show to present a cheesy poem. It was often noted that the two men stared longingly at each other.

Here is a poem from the Bell Tower Times in memory of the two men's passion:

"Bert enjoyed Belvedere's smile 

Belvedere dug Bert's style 

The two men would glance 

Just waiting for a chance 

For their love to soar higher than brokeback mountain".

We now ask our readers to offer their opinion. Was Bert in love with Belvedere?
