A ROW over letting the children watch television ended with a 32-year-old man throwing the remote control at his wife.
Hyndburn magistrates heard the children wanted to watch cartoons but Shadooth Ali was intent on watching The Bill.
And he became aggressive when his wife tried to persuade him to let the children have their way.
Ali, of Addison Close, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to assaulting Naseema Begum.
He was given a conditional discharge foe two years and pay £100 compensation.
