Music Video
The tongue-in-cheek video for "Millennium" features Williams parodying James Bond, complete with references to Bond films like Thunderball and From Russia with Love. The song includes a sample of You Only Live Twice by Nancy Sinatra. The video was filmed at Pinewood Studios, home to most Bond productions. During the end of the video, Williams drives away in an economy car, a fittingly chosen Bond Bug, instead of 007's Aston Martin DB5, which later drives past him while he's having car trouble.
At the 1999 BRIT Awards, "Millennium" won the award for Best British Video.
