Overview
- The one-hour film, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, was removed from BBC One’s Aug. 18, 9 p.m. slot and replaced by Fake or Fortune?, with the BBC confirming it has "moved in the schedules."
- The BBC said: "Our sympathies are with the Osbourne family at this difficult time… we are respecting the family’s wishes to wait a bit longer before airing this very special film," adding that a new transmission date will follow.
- Shot over three years with intimate access to Sharon, Kelly and Jack, the documentary follows the family’s return to the UK and Ozzy’s push to perform one last time at Birmingham’s Villa Park on July 5.
- Originally announced in 2022 as the multi-part series Home To Roost, the project was reworked into a one-hour feature as Osbourne’s health declined; it was produced by Expectation, with international rights handled by Banijay Rights.
- Osbourne died on July 22 at 76, with reports citing his death certificate listing cardiac arrest and acute myocardial infarction alongside coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s with autonomic dysfunction.
