The video gives fans a glimpse into how the show was created, with cameras shooting Keeley and Richard from different angles on numerous trucks and trailers.
The more violent, explosive scenes were filmed from above with elaborate crane cameras, while a make-up artist tended to Richard's bloodied appearance between takes.
Despite the drama, the cast proved to still have fun on set - with numerous clips showing Keeley and Richard giggling in front of cameras, and even pretending to duck out of shot as one scene went awry.
The video ended with the cast and crew celebrating the show's 1000th scene by opening a hand-drawn poster of their characters Julia Montague and David Budd.
