Really? The minimum connection time is 60 minutes within T5, why would you suggest 2 hours? Just for comfort/lounge time?
The clue is in the term minimum connection time, if it is a minimum of one hour best to give it two or three hours to be safe. I did a ninety minute connection once, I made it ok but not my luggage. I would suggest that BA should change the MCT to two or even three hours. It can never do any harm getting there early.
