One thing I noticed is during UK Daytime TV is there are a comical amount of funeral and life insurance ads, it's incredibly depressing.

That's the demographics of who watches daytime TV.

Also note that advertising of prescription pharmaceuticals is already banned, which would likely be another large advertiser were that not the case.

Plus adverts for stair lifts and laxatives showing the healthiest looking old people you have ever seen.
