Why are same day return flights expensive

Hi all,

I was hoping that someone might be able to explain why booking an outbound and inbound ticket on the same day is often much more expensive than having the inbound flight on a different day?

I only ask as it makes doing a day trip holiday with BA (e.g LHR-AMS-LHR) prohibitively expensive, unless using Avios to pay for the flights.

I note that a few years ago BA used to market same day weekend return flights for reasonable prices. I wonder why they stopped this?

Any thoughts welcome.
