Overview

• The BBC removed Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home from its 9pm slot on August 18, pulling the one-hour documentary hours before its scheduled BBC One and iPlayer debut.
• A spokesperson said the film had “moved in the schedules” and declined to provide a reason, promising only that a new air date would be confirmed in due course.
• The vacated slot was immediately filled by an episode of Fake or Fortune, prompting media and fan queries over the abrupt change.
• Produced by Expectation with JOKS Productions and commissioned by Clare Sillery, the project was originally conceived as a multi-part series before evolving into a standalone feature.
• Filmed over three years, the intimate portrait charts Osbourne’s health struggles, his family’s return to the UK with Sharon, Kelly and Jack, and his preparations for a final homecoming gig.
