Who co-created Peppa Pig with Neville Astley?

Mark Baker co-created Peppa Pig with Neville Astley. The two animators are credited as the creators of the British preschool series, which first aired in 2004.

Baker and Astley later worked through Astley Baker Davies, the London animation studio associated with Peppa Pig and other children’s programmes. The company name combined their surnames with producer Phil Davies’s surname, although Davies was not the co-creator named in this question.

Baker is an English animator and producer whose earlier work included the Academy Award-nominated short film The Hill Farm. He also co-created The Big Knights and later Ben & Holly’s Little Kingdom with Astley. A frequent mistake is choosing Phil Davies because of his major production role, or confusing Mark Baker with another writer, director, or voice performer; the creator credit specifically pairs Baker with Astley.
