He was best known for working on the original series of Doctor Who – during which he co-created the now iconic character of K9, and for being a co-writer of the Wallace and Gromit films The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit and A Matter of Loaf and Death (in which the character Baker Bob is named after him). Baker’s work with Aardman Animations earned him a share of two Academy Awards, and two BAFTAs. Baker was born in St George, Bristol. Each lot from his estate is accompanied by a specially made certificate of authenticity confirming it to have come from his own personal collection.
