BBC postpones Ozzy Osbourne documentary

BBC One has postponed the one hour film Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, which was due to air at 21:00 BST on Monday. A BBC spokesperson said the film has moved in the schedules and new transmission details will be confirmed in due course.

The documentary is described as having unique and intimate access to the Osbourne family and follows the rocker’s move back to the United Kingdom, his farewell concert in Birmingham in July, and his death later in the month.

Delays like this feed a quiet counter-narrative about how broadcasters handle personal stories. Without explanation, viewers may read the move as a signal about editorial caution or private family considerations.

Fans looking for a definitive farewell may have to wait, while the postponement underscores how the life stories of beloved performers are managed as much by timing as by talent.

Broadcast schedules can shift, but audiences keep following the life behind the headlines.
