A woman stabbed her husband to death after a row about what to watch on TV, a court has been told.
Leonora Sinclair wanted to see Harry Hill while her husband Lloyd Sinclair, 73, wanted to watch football at their home in Enfield, north London, the Old Bailey heard.
During the row Mrs Sinclair, 50, stabbed her husband in the thigh and he bled to death, the jury was told.
The dental nurse denies one count of murder in January this year.
The court was told that when the emergency services arrived she was hysterical.
The Old Bailey heard she fainted and was taken to hospital in an ambulance with a policewoman.
The jury was told PC Gillian Bills said Mrs Sinclair told her on the way: "We had an argument about what to watch on TV.
"He wanted to watch football and I wanted to watch Harry Hill.
'Unprovoked attack'"He got annoyed and smashed the glass on the floor in the hallway and left the house for approximately 20 minutes."
She claimed when he came back he went upstairs and called her to get an ambulance.
Bobbie Cheema, prosecuting, said Mrs Sinclair had claimed her husband fell on the broken wine glass, but a knife with traces of blood was found on the draining board in the kitchen.
She said Mrs Sinclair was drunk and had been violent in the past to her husband of 10 months.
Miss Cheema added: "This was an unprovoked attack by a woman who armed herself with a knife, went into the hallway of the house where her husband may have been preparing to leave her, and used it to deliver a fatal blow."
The case continues.

Doesn't Mrs Sinclair have the right to have her version published? We only read whay Mr Sinclairs family and friends say about her,but nothing about him.
Does everyone really believe that Mrs Sinclair was the violent one of they couple? The only liar? Well I personally know them both and Mr Sinclair isn't the saint that they are trying to make out.
