How to watch every season of The Osbournes as Ozzy laid to rest in hometown
The Osbournes transformed reality TV, airing from 2002 until 2005, and fans can now watch the entire show. Ozzy Osbourne is being laid to rest today following a funeral procession in his hometown of Birmingham as his loved ones and fans around the world gather to say their final goodbye to the Prince of Darkness. The music icon passed away on July 22 at the age of 76 following a long battle with Parkinson's disease but no cause of death has been confirmed as of yet. Ozzy's death came just days after his final performance where he reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates on stage at Villa Park. For grieving fans who are feeling nostalgic or those who simply want to learn more about the heavy metal legend, all four seasons of The Osbournes are currently available to watch on Amazon Prime Video for those with a subscription for the streaming service. The iconic reality show starring Ozzy, wife and manager Sharon and two of their kids, Kelly and Jack, aired on MTV for three years from 2002 until 2005. The family's beloved dog, Minnie, and Jack's good pal Robert also make a regular appearance in the show. The couple's eldest child, Aimee, chose not to participate in the show with the rest of her family as she wanted to protect her privacy and pursue a serious career in music. All 52 episodes of The Osbournes are available to stream for free for Amazon Prime users. The Osbournes first premiered on MTV in March 2002, documenting the day to day life of the famous family, which was filmed in their Beverly Hills mansion. The show was a huge success, going on to become MTV's most viewed series ever during it's debut season as viewers could not get enough of enjoying a raw and hilarious glimpse into the private world of metal's first family. Throughout its three year run, the series showed the Osbournes juggling ordinary family dramas including furniture mishaps and Sharon's cancer diagnosis as well as Ozzy's famous antics. All of that was tied in with explosive outbursts, dark humour and emotional moments. The authenticity of their life deeply resonated with viewers at the time. In a previous interview with Spin magazine, Ozzy said: "What they call reality TV now is really not reality. It's not raw. It's not the real, real reality. With our show, what you saw was what really went on. It wasn't contrived. It wasn't scripted." He added: "We didn't become the Osbournes that you see just for the show. That's the way we are. And all they did was take funny bits out of it." The Osbournes won a Primetime Emmy in 2002 for Outstanding Reality Program. The reality show came to an end in March 2005 after Ozzy made the decision to "bow out". Speaking to NME back in 2020, the Black Sabbath star admitted that the show ended because he grew really tired of it. He said: "The level of success that TV show got us was too much. I had to bow out. I said to Sharon: 'I don't like the way it makes me feel, and I can't stand f***ing cameramen in my house.'' Ozzy added: 'I'm not upset that I did it, but I wouldn't do it again." The music icon passed away on July 22, just days after his final performance on stage which saw him reunite with his Black Sabbath bandmates at Villa Park for a farewell concert on July 5. Ozzy will be laid to rest today with his body being carried by hearse through the streets of Birmingham, giving fans a chance to say farewell before his private funeral. The cortege will start its journey down Broad Street at approximately 1pm, passing through landmarks which honour the rock legend's life and career. The Osbournes Season One to Season Four is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video now.

Filming Welcome to Wrexham: ‘Parkinson and the players have had to trust us'
As Wrexham embark on a first season at Championship level in 43 years, a familiar dressing-room face will be missing. Patrick McGarvey, co-executive producer on Welcome to Wrexham, is moving on after three years helping to uncover the stories and characters that have turned the documentary chronicling Wrexham's historic promotions into a global hit. Advertisement He leaves with a wealth of memories to go with the eight Primetime Emmy awards that the show has already garnered for co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. 'The last three years have been so special,' the 46-year-old Irishman tells The Athletic. 'I've made friends for life since coming to Wrexham and I've shared in so many great moments. 'Obviously, the three promotions stand out. The open-top bus tour (that followed winning the National League title in 2023) is something I'll never forget until the day I die. 'I was on the bus with the women's team that crazy, crazy evening, plus Rob and Ryan. Seeing the colour in the town and the happiness on people's faces was amazing. 'I've also got a photo I love, taken from behind Phil (Parkinson, manager) and Steve (Parkin, assistant) after the first promotion: looking out over the fans as they invade the pitch, with both Phil and Steve taking it all in. 'I look at that picture from time to time as it brings home the privileged position this job has put me in — to see what it all means, not just to them but their families and an entire community.' When the call first came in 2022 about joining the Welcome to Wrexham team, McGarvey was already an experienced sports producer who had covered everything from three World Cups to a European Championship and several Olympic Games for a variety of channels, including the BBC and ITV, and RTE in his native Ireland. The first series, charting the opening months of the new Hollywood owners and culminating in losing to Grimsby Town in the play-offs, had already been shot but was still to air on either side of the Atlantic. It meant that the global whirlwind that has so transformed this previously provincial club had yet to gather pace. 'I didn't know a huge amount about the project at the time,' McGarvey admits. 'Probably been to the (Racecourse) ground a couple of times, when previously working for ITV. Advertisement 'I'd also been to Wrexham for a few cycling events and had friends from university (in Manchester) who lived in north Wales, so I knew the area. Anyway, we had a conversation over the phone and then I came down for a couple of days, just to meet people and for them to see what I was like. 'You've got to be the right fit for a football club.' McGarvey has certainly proved to be that since first joining the documentary team in September 2022. Initially, he worked for a year alongside Milos Balac, the show's first co-executive producer on the ground in Wrexham. Then, after Balac returned to his native New York, McGarvey stepped up from his role as supervising producer to spend the last two years leading a small but dedicated team in the UK featuring Claire Sarsfield, Matt Hopwood and Gareth Roberts. 'Wrexham is a very different club today to back when I first started,' he says. 'But what hasn't changed is what makes the show such a success: great storytelling. Rob always says to the crew: 'Everyone has a story to tell. What is that story and how best do we get it on camera?'. That's the key.' After more than two decades in the business, McGarvey recognises what makes for great TV. So, when filming co-chairman McElhenney's now-famous motivational speech to the Wrexham squad during last season's run-in, the County Tyrone-born freelance producer knew straight away what the show had. 'We were in the Bamford Suite at the ground and the players had just finished their lunch,' he recalls. 'Rob started speaking and straight away the hairs on the back of my neck are standing up, just listening to the words as I film the room.' McElhenney's emotional words later became the focal point of a truly stunning series four finale, with his message about the need to play with the freedom they had enjoyed as youngsters forming the backdrop as goal action from the promotion-clinching win over Charlton Athletic was interspersed with footage of the players as kids. Advertisement It made for wonderful TV and will surely be rewarded with another slew of awards when the Emmys next come around. 'Rob deserves the credit for that; inspired stuff,' McGarvey says about the montage. 'My role was to be the one on the ground, liaising with the players, collecting all the footage. Some was easier than others, with Max Cleworth's mum simply sending me clips from her mobile phone. 'Others were a bit more difficult, as the footage came in many different forms and had to then be digitised. Matty James had to go through the family archives, same with Ollie Palmer. 'Sam Smith's footage (as a toddler kicking a ball in the hallway at home) was probably the hardest to get but it was also maybe the most iconic, due to Sam scoring twice that day.' Working on Welcome to Wrexham can be demanding, especially for the team on the ground in Wales. A typical working week during the season can be between 60 and 70 hours, and sometimes more with travel if, say, there are back-to-back away games, such as last season's long-distance double-header against Exeter City and Cambridge United. High-profile matches demand a full turnout from the UK crew, including three members of staff in the dressing room — McGarvey as producer, regular soundperson Hopwood and a camera operator. Other fixtures might seem less promising on paper but football's ability to throw up a surprise when least expected means every game has to be staffed, particularly when it comes to shooting the all-important dressing-room footage that has become such a cornerstone of the show. 'An element of familiarity is key,' he says when asked about the scenes featuring Parkinson famously letting rip at his players. 'There's times, as a crew, when you need to be able to fade into the background, almost not be noticed. That can only happen if Phil and the players have trust in who is there in the room. Advertisement 'It's why we've gone with familiar faces when it's a chosen game and three crew members are needed in the dressing room. Other times, it'll be me filming in there on my own. It probably isn't my greatest strength but this is live sport, so there's always a chance of something big happening. You have to be there, just in case.' This near-constant presence in the dressing room makes us wonder what it's really like when Parkinson launches into those now-famous tirades, complete with plenty of swearwords. 'The funny thing is you 100 per cent know when something is documentary gold, such as when Phil or Steve are saying something,' adds McGarvey. 'But you can't let on, can't even flinch. 'That's what I mean by not being noticed, that need to be able to fade into the background. You can't even get your phone out to type in a note. Just store it away in your brain and then, first chance you get after things have calmed down, take a note.' McGarvey is certainly going out on a high after three promotions in three years working on Welcome to Wrexham. The show is also up for another three Emmys in September, including the Outstanding Unstructured Reality category it won in 2024. 'That's what makes all the sacrifices worthwhile,' he adds. 'When you get recognised with an award like that, there's not a higher award I could get.' A desire to spend more time with his young family — wife Annie, plus sons Thomas, 14, and Jack, seven — and wanting to explore other projects, including some possible World Cup 2026-related work, explains the move. There's no doubt, however, that Wrexham has left an indelible mark on the Irishman and in particular, how so many, both inside and outside the club, were willing to open up their lives on camera. 'The James Jones story was one of the most moving,' he says about the episode in series three when the midfielder and wife Chloe spoke so candidly about son Jude's ultimately successful fight for life after being born 15 weeks prematurely. '(We're) really honoured they let us tell their story. Advertisement 'Same with Paul Mullin being so open (about son Albi being diagnosed with autism). Seeing this guy who is so adored on the terraces as a great family man at home reminds you sometimes that there's more important things in life. 'There's so much I'll miss. Rob and Ryan have been great; just genuinely nice lads who I've learned so much from. Fantastic storytellers. Then there's Humphrey (Ker, community director) and (director) Shaun Harvey. Both became great friends and real confidants. 'Telling the story of the Gresford disaster (when 266 lives were lost) with one of the victim's daughters was another privilege. Likewise, getting to know Arthur Massey (Wrexham's oldest fan who passed away at the age of 100) and his family. 'All special in their own way, especially as what I take most pride from the show are the stories where you've gained people's trust and, hopefully, justified that trust.'

BBC Studios Unscripted Boss on Tom Hanks, Stanley Tucci Series and the Recipe for U.S. Success
The Americas, narrated by Tom Hanks, on NBC. [Stanley] Tucci in Italy on National Geographic. Walking With Dinosaurs, narrated by Bertie Carvel (The Crown, HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series), on PBS. These series are just the latest star-studded factual offerings from BBC Studios Productions, one of the British and global media industry's most respected production outfits that is part of BBC Studios, the main commercial arm of U.K. public broadcaster BBC, that have taken the U.S. by storm. Of course, there has also been Prehistoric Planet, executive produced by Jon Favreau, and OceanXplorers with James Cameron. And there is more to come involving big names, as Disney has unveiled that National Geographic has greenlit a new documentary series under the working title Meet the Planets, that is being developed by Ryan Reynolds' Maximum Effort and BBC Studios. More from The Hollywood Reporter Busan Film Festival to Honor Jafar Panahi as Asian Filmmaker of the Year Anne Hathaway Shares First Look at 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' 'Dune' VFX House DNEG's Immersive Experiences Unit Names NBCU's Jeff Lehman Exec Producer (Exclusive) Bottom line: Shows from BBC Studios Productions, which includes the world-renowned Natural History Unit, the Documentary Unit, the Science Unit, wholly owned label Voltage, and third-party distribution relationships, regularly feature Hollywood creatives and do well on U.S. screens, as well as worldwide. And they have just received six Primetime Emmy nominations and 11 Daytime Emmy nominations. Secrets of the Neanderthals and The Secret Lives of Animals are nominated for the latter. In terms of Primetime Emmy nominees, The Americas are in the running for the Outstanding Narrator Award for Hanks and the Outstanding Music Composition for a Documentary Series or Special Emmy for Hans Zimmer. Tucci in Italy is up for the honors for outstanding hosted non-fiction series or special and outstanding cinematography. And Planet Earth – Asia was nominated in the Outstanding Music Composition for a Documentary Series or Special category and Outstanding Narrator for Attenborough. But what is the recipe for factual success at BBC Studios Productions? Key ingredients are scale and breadth, collaborations and partnerships, and specialism, or craft, Kate Ward, managing director, Unscripted Productions at BBC Studios Productions, tells THR. 'I think that factual programming is really having a moment, and we're really seeing that moment,' she argues. 'Big dramas have incredible power and zeitgeist and are, obviously, a huge part of the ecosystem. But what factual does as a genre is that we really passionately believe it's there to change perspectives and start conversations. And because it hasn't always been at the front of the schedule in the U.S., when it does, it feels really special.' Take The Americas, for example. 'We hope it's giving Americans a shared view of the natural world of life on their doorstep, sometimes at the end of their street, which in a world that can feel fragmented and challenging is something that brings people together,' Ward argues. 'Bringing people together is something that is core to our values and our mission at the BBC.' So, how is her unscripted team at BBC Studios trying to succeed in a crowded marketplace? First, 'we're excited about the scale and the variety of work we're doing for the U.S. market,' Ward shares. 'Our shows represent a range of different styles of factual programming for a range of different broadcasters with a range of different models.' In terms of the scale of productions, she lauds BBC Studios' 'unmatched ambition' and ability to pull off 'epic' shows. 'If you look at The Americas, for example, it took five years to make 180 filming expeditions,' she explains. 'So, we are working at epic proportions in terms of production. How many protein bars did the team have to eat over five years to make this show? As a result, you get that infectious curiosity that just draws you in as a viewer.' The second ingredient of success is expertise. 'We can bring the specialism, the craft we are known for,' to ensure high-quality programming, Ward explains. 'Walking With Dinosaurs can bring real value and an education for children and adults. It's rooted in real science. So it is entertainment and education together, and I think that means it can reach a really, really large audience.' Finally, Ward says it's about collaborations with creatives, producers and distribution partners rather than going it alone. 'Creators bring their own way of storytelling, ambition, passion, and together, we can do extraordinary things. We also have deep partnerships producers, with platforms and broadcasters, from our long-standing, unbelievably special relationship with PBS that we value so deeply to NBC and Universal Television Alternative Studio (UTAS), which was a great experience for us. We also have a whole range of programming for National Geographic and Disney, and we have done great work with the likes of Apple and Netflix.' Strong relationships not only give existing shows a good audience platform but can, of course, also lead to the development of further shows, and shows that stand out, she argues. 'These deep collaborative relationships help us shape and do new things for the U.S. market that's really distinctive,' concludes Ward. Now, how about those Hollywood stars collaborating with the BBC. 'We're working with a range of amazing Hollywood talent – actors, directors, auteurs,' she tells THR. 'Why have these people, often known for their fictional work, been drawn to the factual genre? I believe it's because it allows them to explore the subjects about which they're genuinely passionate and to innovate in a different way of storytelling than they do in their other work, which may predominantly be in scripted. We're super excited about that melding of worlds and that sharing of experience.' How does BBC Studios attract such big names in the always-fierce battle for talent? 'It's about storytellers, trust and mutual respect,' Ward tells THR. 'I believe that they are coming to the BBC, because we have the trust, the legacy, the consistent quality, and the specialism that we have built over the years. 'That is really, really important and critical when we're working with other storytellers.' For BBC Studios Productions, working with famous personalities with a shared passion, along with fan appeal and bases, is key too, not least to give series the desired broad reach. But importantly, the creative collaborators must make real sense – or viewers will smell a rat. 'We're looking for those meaningful connections and that creativity,' Ward explains. 'But it is important to approach this through the lens of two storytellers coming together in true partnership, and it always has to be authentic.' Take Tucci, for example. 'Stanley is an incredible storyteller, and to be part of that storyteller's journey through Italy, which he is passionate about, is so exciting, and we're so proud of what we were able to create together,' Ward says. 'Or when you think about Tom Hanks' role on The Americas: Tom's passion for the subject really shines through. If that wasn't the case, the audience would know the difference.' In other words: you couldn't just take a random famous face and attach it to a BBC Studios Productions documentary or other factual series without a real interest or connection. 'This is factual programming. So, there have got to be real, authentic, passionate connections to the subjects, storytellers who immerse you and take you on that journey,' Ward explains. 'These storytellers can start those conversations, change perceptions, take you to worlds and times that you didn't know about. So, we will always be looking for that authenticity and that connection between us and storytellers in a creative partnership.' Thanks to BBC Studios, U.S. audiences, along with British and global viewers, have also fallen in love with such British voices as the legendary naturalist David Attenborough and historian Lucy Worsley (Lucy Worsley's Holmes vs. Doyle). 'She also brings that authentic connection,' highlights Ward. 'Lucy is so popular in America, and she does it so brilliantly.' Ward vows to continue on the path of bringing factual hits to the U.S. and the world. 'Scale, specialism, and collaboration are part of the secret sauce of how we're approaching the business,' she tells THR. 'And we feel super privileged to be able to bring those together and provide a melding of creativity and what that does for people who love factual storytelling or find it. That is a really, really powerful and exciting proposition.'
