Peter Howell was a British sound engineer who provided incidental music for several Doctor Who episodes and arranged the theme used in Seasons 18 to 22. He was also credited with special sounds for Planet of Evil.

Though uncredited, Howell's work on the title sequence that began with The Leisure Hive was more than musical. He claimed to have to worked very closely with Sid Sutton, and to have fought hard to end the titles on a fade to white. Once he had convinced his superiors to allow the visual "white out", he was then free to end the credits sequence with a "sonic boom". (DCOM: Meglos) This distinctive final note would become one of the most recognizable elements of his arrangement of the "Doctor Who theme".
