Like many other [[visual effects]] seen on early ''[[Doctor Who]]'' — such as [[colour separation overlay]], Paintbox primarily had applications in sports and news programming, but was used more creatively by the [[visual effects designer]]s of ''[[Doctor Who]]''.

Perhaps its most obvious applications were in the stories ''[[Mindwarp (TV story)|Mindwarp]]'' (pictured), ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'' and ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]''.
