I have stuck plasterboard to a brick wall with pink foam.
But I want to hide a ring main cable in it.
Then skim plaster over the top.
It's easy to cut a groove in the plasterboard.
But I dont want to cut into the brick if its not necessary
Could I use some kind of cable clips
to nail the cable to the brick?
Then scrim tape over the top of the groove?

With the depth of the foam and the PB you would probably have space to
add the occasional cable clip to keep it in place prior to plastering.

Failing that, a wide headed clout nail beside the cable can retain it.
Also a blob of hot melt glue is another quick easy way of tacking it in
place. Then backfill with bonding plaster, scrim and skim.

I know it doesn't help, but I can't help wondering why you didn't
install the cable before sticking the plasterboard to the wall - so that
it would live in the gap between wall and plasterboard.
