BBC Delays Ozzy Osbourne Documentary at Family’s Request

A new air date will follow for the three-year Expectation TV portrait.

Overview

  • BBC One pulled Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home from its Monday slot after a request from the Osbourne family, the broadcaster said.
  • The BBC described the film as moved in the schedules and said a new transmission date will be confirmed shortly, with iPlayer availability to come.
  • Shot over three years and produced by Expectation TV, the documentary features interviews with Ozzy, Sharon, Jack and Kelly and tracks his return to the UK.
  • The project was initially planned as a series titled Home to Roost before being reworked as a one-hour special.
  • The decision follows Osbourne’s death on July 22 at 76, and the BBC framed the delay as respect for the family’s wishes.
