Hollyoaks: The Good, the Bad and the Gorgeous was a drama-documentary featuring clips from the past 14 years of Hollyoaks. It also parodied several films in the form of skits: Kill Bill, Grease, Titanic, The Shining and the music video to Michael Jackson's "Thriller".
The episode opened with a Star Wars style intro, with scrolling text roughly describing the serial in a comedic tone. After the opening montage, Cheryl Brady and Ste Hay watch a series of clips later played in the show. Mr. C breaks the fourth wall, introducing each segment. In the first segment, parodying Kill Bill, Carmel Valentine (parodying The Bride) searches for her new bra, which has been stolen. She first confronts Jacqui McQueen "a.k.a Jacqui McBling" and defeats her during a fight by causing her to get her high-heeled boot stuck in a table. Carmel next confronts Scott Anderson "a.k.a The One You Shouldn't Fancy (But You Do)". She defeats him by throwing him down The Loft's staircase. She then finds the culprit - Mr. C - with her bra and gets it back by knocking him out with various finger movements.
The second segment, parodying Grease features Cindy Cunningham and Tony Hutchinson as Sandy and Danny. Steph Cunningham, Mr C. and Jacqui McQueen appear as Cindy's friends, whilst Scott Anderson and Gilly Roach appear as Tony's friends. They perform a parody of "Summer Nights", called "Chester Nights" and featuring several references to characters, businesses and events on Hollyoaks. The third segment, parodying The Shining primarily revolves around Steph Cunningham. Steph and Tom Cunningham move into 65 Christleton Terrace, where Tom's 'talking thumb' tells Steph who'd want to harm her. Inside a box, Tom finds a lighter with "Sam Owen" engraved and a spanner with "Toby Mills" written on it, before Steph finds Niall Rafferty's hairdressing blades. Whilst riding a little trike around, Tom comes across two Holly Cunninghams. Steph enters the bathroom, followed by a hooded figure who breaks the door down with an axe: it's Gilly Roach, who thinks she's got herself stuck inside.
In the fourth segment, parodying Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video, Ste and Cheryl leave the cinema and end up in a graveyard. A zombe version of Mr. C makes references to the deaths of Becca Dean, Mel Burton, Warren Fox, Toby Mills, Niall Rafferty, Kieron Hobbs, Tina Reilly and Max Cunningham. Scott Anderson is mauled to death by zombies before clips from various characters' deaths were played.
