Default Stripping wallpaper off painted plaster wall

I have begun to strip wall paper off a painted plaster wall.

The paper came off fairly easily with just a sponge and hot water
(with a dash of washing up liquid)

However in places the paint underneath also came off as it stuck fast
to the paper.

This left an uneven odd shaped surface.

What would be the best way to patch up these areas.

I have thought of using Polycells smooth-over which has been
advertised a bit recently.

Would this be the easiest way or are there other alternatives.

What do you want to do with the surface?
