Ok, so my next (probably next) video will have these James-Bond-inspired opening titles: https://youtu.be/CHbZvyvbu8I It's about the infinitely many lead zeroes which are technically at the start of numbers.

It was made with a kind of super-group of people I work with (Helen Arney lyrics/singing; Howard Carter music; Will Marler animation) and was great fun to do. So we'll probably do it again one day.

And because James Bond films traditionally end with a "James Bond will return in NEXT MOVIE TITLE" I thought it would be fun to tease a "Matt Parker will return in..." on the end of this video. (Even thought I'll probably not make it for a year.)

You can choose what title I use! Most votes wins. It will become a video so choose wisely. And feel free to suggest other maths/Bond puns in the comments.

This isn’t fair, they’re all too good 😂

Simon Lee

My bet is No Time To π will win, but I frikkin love Casio Royale

Daniel Busse

Live and let Pi, for your i’s only

Chris Rogers

What about : You Only Live Tau 😁 Get it... 'Cause it's twice pi

Lex

Okay but I will legit need a full version of that song fr. <3

Derek Chandler

Not “Dr Zero” instead of “Dr Number?” Strictly I suppose you could have written “Dr No.”

Beanedict Cumbfurbatch

I feel like “For Your Imaginary Numbers Only” isn’t getting the love it deserves. Eyes -> i’s? Genius.

Beanedict Cumbfurbatch

Casio Royale is so perfect that I think some people might not even see that it’s a pun at first

James Coutie

Live and let pi was absolutely me choice!

What happened to 'The Pi who loved me'

Stephen Benner

When you do videos like this, it’s nice to have an opera singer on speed dial.

π Another Day For Your π's Only

larusso

Disappointed "τ never dies" didn't make the list, given it's at least twice as good as "No Time To π"

Drew Molboski

I'm a big fan of whoever wrote the youtube comment: "The π Who Loved e"

Thecommexokid

Matt, thanks for helping the cause of popularizing Approval Voting! Much appreciated

SonOfSofaman

This is a brilliant idea. Maybe your videos could follow a release sequence parallel to their cinematic counterparts?

The Dean

That intro seriously needs Matt walking to the center of a zero and doing something with a calculator. Or perhaps a slide rule.

"No Time to π" is interesting when you pronounce π the German way. Rhymes with three.

PeteyPak

You need to find a way to use all of these, they're fantastic.

PeteyPak

At least donate some to Zach Weinersmith if you're not going to eat them all yourself.

DrDelvan

These are all fabulous! You could even keep the zero-themed video streak going by making the sequel License to Nil.

Bryn

It's interesting that the top two contenders so far are the titles with mathematical constants. And yes I also voted for one of those.

Bryn

Yep

Bryn

If that had been in there it would have my vote.

Tim

"The Spy Who Loved e" made me smile most but "No Time to π" is most likely to get non subs watching so probably better. Also I assume double 0 7 has been replaced by infinity 0 7!

Erin

May I recommend having a different name for your secret agent self? That way the "_________ will return in ___________" will feel more true even when we get the next (obvs still very good) non-secret-agent Matt Parker video

Steven Schroeder

Yes, Scott Rush nailed it with: "The π Who Loved e". That gets my vote.

Gordon McDonough

Seems like there must be a great anagram in Matt Parker.

Arnim Sommer

Golden Pi*e MP 007 hunts Dr. NULL

Shad Sterling

Do I remember right that the infinite leading digits aren't always zero in the p-adic representation? I hope you include that in the video!

Phil Brady

Patt Marker? Naw.....

Keith Moser

Goldenϕ (all about Phi and the golden ratio)

Tomasz Szymański

no time to "pi" sounds better. however, I think that casio royale would be the best video (calc vids are my favs)

Karen Hummelhoff-Jeppesen

So hard to choose between most interesting subject matter and most groan-worthy pun (and they are all amazing)
