@Lady London – there are actually two stages of ticket validity. To avoid paraphrasing, BA’s Conditions of Carriage (which mirror those of most IATA airlines) state:-
“3b1) Unless it says differently on the ticket, in these conditions of carriage, or in any tariffs which apply, a ticket is valid for travel for:
one year from the date it is issued or
one year from the date you first travelled using the ticket, as long as your first flight took place within a year of the ticket being issued.”
BA will extend tickets in various exceptional circumstances upon production of evidence.
