The BBC can never win in these situations.

If they had spent the money that was asked for Bake Off, then many people (and certain media outlets) would complain that the BBC were spending 'their' money on 'rubbish', it wasn't cost effective, or as the government said at one point that the BBC shouldn't be doing popular shows anyway.

If they don't spend the money they're accused of letting decent programmes go.
