You're confusing the cost to make the programme and how much they paid for the rights to make the programme - two separate things.

I would be stunned if GBBO cost £1 million per episode, as one of the attractions of 'reality' shows (to the programme makers) is how much cheaper they are to make than drama/comedy/etc. scripted shows.

GoT is exceptional in its cost per episode, and should not be used as a baseline.... ;-)
