One of "those" clicks

My son's bike is a Ribble Winter Audax with Tiagra groupset. About 2 years old and ridden regularly (by me) over weekends but rarely during the week so shouldn't be worn out.

Over the last week it has developed a very annoying click. We have both cycled it and agree that it appears to be coming from the BB. The click happens on most downstroke (left and right).

I've had a look at the BB. There is no apparent play and it feels tight when checked with my socket. I didn't get the torque wrench out and am now away for the week.

Any suggestions as to what may be causing it?

    Might it be the pedal and not the BB? I was sure I had a BB problem on my mtb but it was actually a duff pedal.
