Some of them were on plasterboard, and I have some holes to mend, but I
can cope with that. The problem is that some of the old tile adhesive is
still adhering to the PB. What's the best way of getting a clean
surface, ready for retiling, without destroying the PB?


Impossible. Replace the PB, adding insulation if it's an outside wall.
PB can be disposed of in garden soil if wanted.

I did our bathroom (well, shower) a few weeks ago. I was too lazy to go
and get PB, so spent several hours trying to remove the adhesive (very
well stuck), until I've had enough and went to get the two 8x4 boards.
100% false economy.

10 minutes to remove the boards from the wall + 10 minutes to remove all
the screws etc + 10 minutes to screw new boards to the studs.
