BBC Postpones Ozzy Osbourne Documentary Hours Before Broadcast

The broadcaster says the delay honors the Osbourne family's wishes.

Overview

  • Scheduled for 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer on Monday, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home was replaced at the last minute by Fake or Fortune?.
  • The BBC said a new transmission date will be confirmed shortly after pulling the film to respect the family's wishes.
  • Filmed over three years by Expectation, the project began in 2022 as the series Home To Roost before being reworked into a one‑hour documentary with intimate access to Sharon, Jack and Kelly.
  • Some outlets, citing unnamed sources, report the family raised concerns about the final cut and a perceived rush in a race with a Paramount+ project, a claim that has not been independently verified.
  • Osbourne died on July 22 at age 76, two weeks after a farewell concert in Birmingham, a context that has heightened sensitivity around the film's timing.
