These are metal, they go into hollow walls and they're anchors :) (one of the best anchors you can use on plasterboard walls)

not sure why this are hard to find when this whole country is built on plaster board. I found some locally and some on Amazon, but not at this price.

Can anyone recommend a good type of anchor for a masonry wall?

Red raw plugs and decent screws will hold up your own weight if installed correctly!

I need to mount a TV on a hollow wall, it's a 32" Samsung (nothing fancy). Would these help? Or would I need something more substantial?
...
Or am I trying to achieve the impossible?

Is there a block or brick wall behind the void? In other words plasterboard -> gap -> block/brick wall - if so I used 120mm screws that come with raw plugs. These are expensive and rated to 50KG so my 32 inch samsung is well hung as it were.
On the other hand if this is plasterboard -> void -> whatever, I use these: Link to screwfix
(the 100 pack should really say 50 as you get 50 plugs and 50 screws)
I use a small flat screwdriver to pre-drill a narrow hole and check the deep - making sure there is no baton where the fixing is going. Then screw the fixing into the wall. No drill required. I have used these to hold shelving etc with no issues. They do metal ones as well, which I guess can take more weight, the plastic ones are easy to shorten with scissors if required.

Yes easily. Just use the setting tool with these and you will be fine.

My tip buy the setting tool aswell, Weve recently moved into a new build and I use these for most fixings as these and the "GripIt" type fixings are the only things that hold anything substantial.

If there is a baton in the wall screw straight into it!

Yeah I agree. I check for batons as you don't want to hit when screwing in the fixing as it will turn without moving and chew the wall.
