According to Para 4.3.1 of the official HMRC guidance, two flights are not regarded as connected if your second flight is back to the same country you've just come from and APD is therefore due whether the flights are on the same booking or not.

4.3.1 Flights arriving from and departing to the same country

For international connections where the airport of arrival of flight B is in the same country as the airport of departure of flight A, the flights are not regarded as being connected. For example:

Paris to London, then London to Marseille this flight would not be regarded as being connected and £11 or £22 APD would be due depending on class of travel occupied between London and Marseille (Band A).
