James Whale (although no stranger to radio by any means) had only been doing his Saturday night show for 3 weeks when he was moved to weekdays into Caesar's recently vacated 10pm timeslot.
On the Friday at the end of his first week he did the Tom Leykis linkup show inherited from Caesar.

Wild Al Kelly lasted 4 weeks, his last show was 10th March 95.
He was replaced by Chad Benson & Mike Hanson who did the Mike & Chad Show from 13th March until their final show 4 weeks later on 7th April.
Their replacement was Ian Collins starting on 10th April.
Samantha Meah was only with the station a few weeks but I failed to note when she left. 4 to 6 weeks would be a good estimate.
Sue Plumtree was gone after her 3rd week although I heard her appear as a guest on someone's show much later in the year. I think Nancy Roberts took the extra hour.
Starting 19/20 August there were the following changes...
Saturday 19th Aug
Gary Newbon's show moved from Sunday to Saturday, switching days with Books People Read & World's Biggest Quiz.
Ronnie Barbour's show now started 3 hours earlier in the old timeslot previously held by Janet Gershlick (Gershlick, I assume, had only been on a 6 month contract).
New to the station and in Ronnie Barbours old 10pm timeslot was James Whale.
Sunday 20th Aug
Dale Winton (also probably only contracted for 6 months) was replaced by Jonny Gould in World's Biggest Quiz starting on 20th Aug.

Caesar The Geezer - 2nd Tom Leykis linkup 10-Aug-1995
Caesar's linkup with the Tom Leykis show was so popular that 6 weeks later he did it again.
Another entertaining two hours.
First hour
Second hour
Caesar made an appointment to do another linkup in a months time. Unfortunately when that happened he was no longer at the station.
Caesar did his show as normal on Friday 1st September 1995. When he came into work on Monday (4th Sept) he was called into an office and told he was fired (along with Terry Christian who did what was to be his final show the previous day). The listeners weren't told why he was sacked, with people enquiring on air quickly getting cut off.
In December Caesar appeared on Radio 4's "PM" programme and gave his own explanation of why he was sacked.
Caesar - "PM", Radio 4, 28-12-1995 (4 minutes)

Talk Radio UK - short clips, June 1995
Some short clips that were on one side of a c90 along with the final 20 minutes of a Caesar show (I'll post that in my next post).
Ian Collins talks to Jim Melendez, KTMS Los Angeles (1st June 1995)
- Ian calls U.S. radio host Jim Melendez to talk about the OJ Simpson trial.
Ian Collins tries to call Leslie Nielsen (1st June 1995)
- Later in the same show Ian tried to call Leslie Nielsen. Maybe he wanted to ask him if there was going to be a Naked Gun 4?
Sean Bolger & Janet Gershlick talk to Dannii Minogue (2nd June 1995)
- A little bit of an interview with Dannii Minogue. Presumably she was on longer but that's the only bit I heard.
Caesar talks to Larry King (26th June 1995)
- Caesar has a chat with the World-famous Larry King who was due to interview Margaret Thatcher in a few hours.
Caesar - Larry King intro (27th June 1995)
- The intro to Caesar's show the next day using some of the Larry King clips.
Caesar tries to phone Denise Divine Brown (28th June 1995)
- And he speaks to someone, but was it her?

Caesar The Geezer & Dave Cash - Kenny Everett Tribute 4-4-1995
On the day Kenny Everett's death was announced Caesar took to the air with special guest Dave Cash who'd worked with Kenny in his pirate radio days on Radio London as well as later on Capital Radio. With very little Kenny material to play, listeners were invited to call in and play any recordings they might have. Caesar, Dave and the callers share reminiscences about Kenny.

Caesar The Geezer's smoking protest 24-3-1995
This is Caesar's smoking protest show in it's entirety. (all news and ads intact apart from the first ad break which I cut at the time of recording.)
Caesar informed the listeners that he'd been told by management that he was no longer allowed to smoke in the studio, and by way of protest he was doing his show standing outside in Oxford Street.

The start of the Nick Miller show (after Caesar until the tape runs out) (6 minutes)
I might as well add this in this post...
ads & trails & Caesar jingles, March 1995 (8 minutes)
A few disjointed clips. I was trying to record a particular show trail so I kept recording at the end of ad breaks in the hope they'd play it. It never got recorded over as I'd intended so here it is.
