Sorry about the delay Ando,,,, watching Who wants to be a Millionaire 
. If you have a plasterboard ceiling that has cracks in it,, you will have to tape the joints, filler on it's own will not stop the "joints" from showing. So tape over the cracks and sand down. If you need more, ask away..

cheers mate i have got a few more questions,what tape should i use and do i fill over it,also do you have to do this to all cracks or can you rake them out first and see if that fixes em,some of the cracks dont go in a straight line some are curved and last of all how do you know the difference between plasterboard and lath and plaster just by looking at it
