May 2012 - BBC Three's acclaimed paranormal drama The Fades is named best Drama Series at the BAFTA Television Awards.
The only problem? The show had been axed one month previous.
May 2014 - BBC Three's acclaimed paranormal drama In The Flesh is named best Mini-Series at the BAFTA Television Awards. The popular Him & Her also triumphs in the Situation Comedy category.
The only problem? This time, it's the channel itself facing the chop.
"Whatever you think of BBC Three moving online, with In The Flesh and Him & Her winning, it's obviously been an incredible creative hotbed of talent," said Kenton Allen - Chief Executive of Big Talk Productions and producer of Him & Her - following his show's win at Sunday night's (May 18) awards.
But do a couple of BAFTAs make a difference in the grand scheme of things? Consolatory though it may have been for the show's fans, a win for The Fades two years back didn't spark some grand revival of the series and - despite recent protestations from BBC Trust members - you get the feeling that it's also too late for the BBC Three tide to turn.
What to Read Next
That's certainly Allen's viewpoint: "I doubt it'll have an impact on the decision," he conceded on Sunday. "That's a much bigger question, what happens to BBC Three."
Barring an unlikely revival of its own, BBC Three shifting online won't affect Him & Her, which bowed out after four series in December 2013.
But what of In The Flesh? BBC Three's third major outing into supernatural territory - following the aforementioned The Fades and the equally well-received Being Human - not only scooped the Mini-Series trophy over the weekend, but also earned a nomination for its star Luke Newberry and a BAFTA Craft win for writer Dominic Mitchell.
Its second series - currently midway through a six-part run - continues to attract a warm critical reception and there's "scope" for a third, Newberry confirms.
The question now is - where will it air? Could future In The Flesh instalments debut online followed by a late-night terrestrial airing, or might the show become an iPlayer exclusive?
"Conversations with BBC Three are ongoing as it moves online," said Hilary Martin, executive producer on the show for BBC Drama North, "and drama is such an important part of the move.
"For programme makers, it's about the integrity, it's about the passion, it's about the voice [of the writer] and we're in discussions about what the new future looks like."
It seems that an online-only future for In The Flesh is not entirely out of the question, though cast and crew - including Newberry and series one director Jonny Campbell - seem optimistic about the offbeat zombie drama's fate.
"Providing budgets are there to make drama in the first place, it doesn't really matter where it's screened," Campbell suggests. "There are shows like House of Cards that go online [and] it doesn't look their budgets were cut."
"I know I catch up on television online so I think there is a real audience for that," adds Newberry. "There are shows that are purely on Netflix, so I think it's a positive move and hopefully the fans will follow the show, wherever it goes."
