Bill Drummond is on tour... for the rest of his life.

Filmed in Kolkata, India, and in Lexington, North Carolina, Drummond does his self-imposed 'work' – building beds, baking cakes, making soup, shining shoes – to the variously amused, perplexed or annoyed reactions of those around him.
Made by a team including Oscar-nominated cinematographer Robbie Ryan & Emmy-winning producer Robert Gordon, Best Before Death follows Drummond over two years of the 12-year World Tour which Drummond expects to take him the rest of his life to complete.
“Four Stars ... a far more interesting and entertaining portrait of an inscrutable artist than the usual documentary primers we tend to get.” (The Scotsman)
