Mounting a TV to the wall

I bought this wall bracket for this TV. I want to attach it to a brick wall. I'm a bit disturbed by how close together the top and bottom wall fixings are - it seems like it will work hard to pull the top fixings out of the wall. I find myself wanting to somehow attach vertical strips of metal with holes in to the bracket at either end making an H shape, and use the holes at the top and bottom of each strip to attach to the wall. Is this a crazy idea? Where online can I get such a strip of metal, and how would I go about it? Or should I just rawlplug it into the brick wall and not worry about it?

The last. If I read the TV page correctly, it only weighs 20kg.

Our bracket looks very similar to that, recommended by Richer sounds.

After Jennie screwed it all in (I was allowed to hold the ladder), she then grabbed hold of it and jumped off the ladder to test it. We've got stone walls not brick, but...
