Overview

• BBC One and iPlayer broadcast the one-hour film on Oct. 2 following a family-requested delay after Ozzy Osbourne’s July death at 76, reported as a heart attack.
• Originally planned as a multi-part series, the project was refashioned into a single film as Ozzy’s health declined and the family sought a later air date.
• The documentary focuses on the couple’s return to Welders House in Buckinghamshire, showing renovations such as a new lake and quiet family moments.
• Ozzy’s struggle to prepare for a farewell performance despite Parkinson’s and a severe spinal injury is depicted, but there is no rehearsal access, concert footage from Villa Park, or funeral coverage.
• Critical response splits between praise for a tender, intimate portrait (The Times, The Independent) and criticism that the film feels invasive and underpowered (the i Paper), with a separate feature-length film due on Paramount+ next week.
