The series is presented through Osbourne's point-of-view and features trainers 'Mike and Bean' as well as appearances by his parents Ozzy and Sharon.

The show documents Osbourne running with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, following a strict exercise regimen, Muay Thai training in Thailand, and "an overall 180-degree mental make-over". [1]

The programme aired on ITV2 in the UK, and was repeated on ITV1 late at night, it's also shown on MuchMusic in Canada, and on the Travel Channel in the United States. The show is censored in Canada and US due to their sensivity to foul language.
