NO reason has been given after the documentary Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home was pulled from BBC TV schedules hours before it was due to air.
The one-hour doco followed the Black Sabbath singer and his family relocating back to the UK from Los Angeles during the months before he died on July 22. It was due to air at 9pm Monday but was replaced by a rerun of the reality show Fake Or Fortune.
When Osbourne died, it was announced the film would still be airing. American fans complained in recent days on social media they were paying for VPNs to watch the show, without knowing if the work-around would work.
“The film has moved in the schedules and we’ll confirm new [transmission] details in due course,” a BBC spokesperson said in a statement to Us Weekly.
In the original synopsis, the BBC said: “Filmed over three years, it captures the extraordinary roller-coaster of their lives as Sharon and Ozzy attempt to complete their long-held dream of moving back to the UK, Ozzy heroically battles to get fit enough to perform, and the family deal with the dramatic consequences of his ill-health.
“The film is full of love, laughter and tears and the kind of unforgettable family moments that we’ve come to expect from the Osbournes. It’s a remarkably candid and uplifting tribute to one of the world’s true icons, and documents the first family of rock as they are forced to accept, that, as Kelly says in the film, ‘Iron man wasn’t really made of iron’.”
