Clare explores reality advertising and finds out if technology damages our tots.

Clare and guests tackle reality advertising and technology for tots, plus they find out whether Saturday night TV really is all about the family.

As the weather goes all autumnal, and the nights start drawing in, the 2 big Saturday night TV blockbusters (X Factor and Strictly) are back with a vengeance to vie for the biggest share of viewers, and make Saturday night a night for the family. 

If you're a long-legged fresh-faced beauty who shops in certain exclusive retail outlets, you might just be offered more than a bargain...what about a job, or a chance to appear on some merchandise? We hear all about the next stage in advertising...reality advertising! 

Pre-school children are increasingly sitting down infront of PCs or tv screens - is it detrimental to their social skills, or sensible as we become increasingly reliant on technology in our lives? 

A chance to check out exciting new films, poetry, music and artworks based on collaborations between Scotland, Syria and Lebanon, courtesy of this year's Reel Festival website. 

And a multi storey car park in Inverness goes high brow.
