IF it's going to work, as brundles says you will need to ensure the two routers are on different IP subnets. Don't know what the defaults are on these boxes, but I would suggest setting the BT device to use an internal address range 192.168.1.xxx with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask. The second router should have an internal address range 192.168.2.xxx with same mask.
eg
BT internal IP - 192.168.1.1
Generic 'external IP' (supplied by BT rtr) - 192.168.1.100
Generic internal IP - 192.168.2.1
PC IP address - 192.168.2.100
That should allow IP traffic to be routed from PC to router to BT router to internet.
This of course assumes the generic router will work connected to another router.
