More tiling inquiry

Alrighty. I've started. The tiles are off. I've already found some interesting things to do with the floor (Posted in the relevant section). Now, for the wall.

Exhibit A:

I'm stumped. What do I slap on the wall to cover up the brick and the plumbing, in readiness for the impending tiles?


Exhibit B:

The side of the bath. Should I chip it all back to the brick which appears to be supporting the bath, and use some villaboard?

Dopey question - does the to-be tiled area need to be perfectly flat? There's plenty of large pits (~5cm diameter, ~1-2mm depth) from chipping away the old tiles. I've got a bottle of polyfilla, but looking at it, it'll be nowhere near enought to flatten out all of the area, just fill in the couple of really deep pits.

Cheers
