Jim Cronin's sudden death in March 2007 shocked conservationists around the world. But none more than his wife, Dr Alison Cronin.
Alison is now in sole charge of Monkey World, the ape rescue centre near Wareham. She spoke to BBC Dorset about her late husband's legacy and how she plans to fight on for monkeys suffering abuse and neglect.

The early days
Monkey World houses 165 monkeys and apes but it wasn't always so big. It started as a small idea, sparked in Jim Cronin's mind as he worked as a keeper at a zoo in Kent.
"Jim has always been a very passionate person", says Alison. "That word would sum him up in one."
It was while he worked in Kent that he learnt about the plight of the chimpanzees being worked in Europe on the beach as photographers prop. He vowed to find a home for every single beach chimpanzee that was rescued.

Friends S1:E21 - Hey there, all you friendly connoisseurs of Friends. How's everyone doing this lovely Monday afternoon? I'm resplendent myself, thanks for asking. It is an exciting time here at theLeftAhead. Not only am I embarking on the stretch run of blog posts for Friends: Season One, but if you've been checking in on the site over the past week, you will have noticed that Ted James, our fearless Editor-n-chief, is back writing with a vengeance as part of his annual Black & Silver blog series covering the San Antonio Spurs' playoff run. Being a Spurs fan is a prerequisite for landing a job at theLeftAhead, so I'd be remiss if (before moving on) I didn't add, Go Spurs Go! Now that that is out of the way, I'm really excited because there are only four episodes left of Season One to write about over the next four weeks and then I'll probably be leaving on an extended summer vacation. (Isn't being a television blogger cool?) Mr. Jam
