To find out the history of the invention of the humble doner kebab, you must look to Berlin. It was in the German capital that Kadir Numan set up his stall in 1972, widely considered the world’s first ‘kebabby’.

The James Bond franchise is littered with characters that have telling names. “Auric Goldfinger” might be a bit on the nose, but did you know that “Raoul Silva”, the villain from “Skyfall”, is an anagram of “a rival soul”?
