You're comparing three different things.
In the case of Top Gear, a programme the BBC wholly owns, they sacked the presenter then gave the gig to someone who, it turned out, was too scared to do anything other than copy Clarkson (badly).
In the case of Bake Off, a brand and format owned by Love Productions, the BBC was not willing to pay what the owner wished to charge for a licence for the BBC to keep using its intellectual property.
In the case of Doctor Who ... well most of it is owned by the BBC, certainly enough for them to keep making it as long as they want to. In this case, they have a very long history of replacing the main cast and the production team without killing it. So there's no reason to suppose it's going anywhere.
