“The world of television entertainment, with its lights, glitter and glamour, offers great rewards to those who make it to the top.  But it also can have its darker side.  Very few have the talent and ability to reach the heights; and of those who do so, even fewer manage to stay there.
Bert Newton was precipitated to the top at the very inception of television broadcasting in Australia; and has retained his position there ever since, though it hasn’t always been plain sailing.”
