In newer houses (<20yrs) all walls are plasterboard (spaced out from the 
bricks if it's a supporting wall), so you'll have to get used to it and 
learn how to fix stuff to them. It's not like nobody in modern houses 
fixes stuff to walls.

You can use these:

or these - especially good if it's old plasterboard that's a bit crumbly:

You'd be surprised how much weight they can support. 4 or 6 of them will 
hold a big TV *easily*. I use them for everything, shelves, mirrors, 
desks, pictures, bookcases etc - never had anything fall down.
