Library music[edit]

With Cliff Twemlow and Peter Taylor, Park co-wrote "Distant Hills", which was used as the closing theme tune to the television series Crown Court (1972-84). He wrote the music for the 1972 ITV mystery quiz Whodunnit?, for Cross Country Go, a B movie made by British Movietone News in 1974, and incidental music for the wartime TV series Danger UXB in 1979. As Simon Haseley he contributed incidental music to the TV series The Sweeney (1975-78).^[6]


He has continued to produce music for the De Wolfe music library, some of which was used in films such as Eskimo Nell (1975), and he composed the score for the film Nutcracker (1982). His music has also been used by NFL Films in football highlight compilations.^[7]


His library music has also been heard in more recent productions, such as Ever After (1998), Spun (2002) and Shaun of the Dead (2004).^[8] The 1972 piece "Great Day" (credited to Simon Haseley), which was scored for large orchestra, has been sampled many times, most notably by Beyonce in A Woman Like Me, as used in the 2006 film The Pink Panther.^[4]


Park appeared in an episode of Bargain Hunt which aired in 2017.
