After producing, among other programmes Crown Court, This Year Next Year (written by John Finch) and Love Among the Artists, he returned to directing and worked again on Coronation Street from June 1985 to April 1993 until just before his death at the age of 61. The journalist and broadcaster Graeme McDonald who worked with Baker at Granada recalls that they were both dismissive of the Street when they first heard about its impending production in 1960 saying "We'll eat our hats if it ever took off."
