[1] Baker's first broadcast credit was on an animated short of Quentin Blake's Clown, which aired on Channel 4 on Christmas Day in 2020.
He went on to adapt and write an English language remake of Before We Die, starring Lesley Sharp, which aired on Channel 4 in 2021, and co-wrote a second series in 2023.
Baker’s love of Italy and the topicality of the historical period's political issues inspired him to create the show, workshopping characters and scenarios with Eagle Eye executives Walter Iuzzolino and Jo McGrath, who later produced the series.
The show was renewed for a second[8] and for a third season and has sold around the world, in a broad range of international markets including PBS in the U.S., Foxtel in Australia and Sky Italia and RAI in Italy, as well as across Scandinavia.
