Explanation: Originally scheduled to air on BBC One at 21:00 BST on August 18, the broadcast of “Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home” was postponed due to the family’s fresh grief. As no reason was initially given for the delay, a subsequent update from BBC revealed that they were respecting the wishes of the Osbourne family by waiting a bit longer before airing this special film.

Originally intended to be a 10-part series titled “Home to Roost,” focusing on Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon’s attempt to readjust in Buckinghamshire, the project eventually shifted direction. Given the rising health concerns of the star, they opted to produce an hour-long movie instead, with the aim of chronicling the final three years of his life.
