He graduated from RADA with the Athene Seyler Prize for Comedy and his first professional stage appearance was in repertory at the Oxford Playhouse. Hewlett became most familiar to British television viewers for his regular role in the sitcom It Ain't Half Hot Mum (1974), a series which was very popular at the time but is never repeated now because it is considered very politically incorrect.
