His name will be forever linked with the famous Television series 'Last of the Summer Wine' set in Holmfirth - which ended its 31 series run in 2010; and the many other TV themes and scores he composed throughout his long career. The BBC complained that his theme sounded nothing like a comedy theme and should be faster. However, since the programme was due to air two days after it had been written there was no time for a re-write. It went on to become one his best loved themes and the longest running comedy on British TV.

Hazlehurst worked on the scores for series such as 'The Likely Lads' (1964); and the Dennis Potter TV play 'Vote, Vote, Vote for Nigel Barton' - a BBC Wednesday Play from 1965; 'The Liver Birds' (1971-75); and 'It's a Knockout' (1966).
Hazlehurst joined the BBC in 1961 as staff arranger and arranged the programme for a concert at the Royal Albert Hall to celebrate the BBC's 40th anniversary. He began as orchestrations manager and then head of music for light entertainment - and finally musical advisor (light entertainment).
He began working for the BBC Northern Variety Orchestra and, from 1955, secured arranging work for Granada TV, working with Peter Knight head of music at Granada; but he left a year later when Knight did.
He had his first experience at arranging before being called up for his National Service and from 1947 to 1949 he was a bandsman playing solo cornet in the 4th / 7th Royal Dragoon Guards, for which he also did arrangements.
