"If you think back from where we started, where we scored 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' right here in this room. And the screen behind me is the original screen that we scored that movie to. All the way through to 'Harry Potter,' 'Lord of the rings,' Marvel. It goes all the way through to current day 'Barbie,' 'Wicked.' And I could just go on and on and on. To the extent that this room is probably the sound of Hollywood today."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Sally Davies, Managing Director of Abbey Road Studios:
"It's been a restoration project. What we don't want to do is change the acoustics. So every minute detail in the room has been conserved and preserved that that sound does not shift. And that the reverb of this room, you know, was 2.3 back in the '70s. And today, after the restoration, it's still 2.3. So to give you the context of the extent of that care, we haven't repainted the walls. I mean, we have simply washed down the walls to preserve that sound. The floor has been re-sanded and oiled. You know we can't varnish that floor. It's too reflective - this room is just about preserving that magic."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Daniel Pemberton, composer:
" what's so exciting about a room like Studio One is what happens on the day is what happens for the rest of time. You know, it's like that history being made, whether it's good history or bad history or whatever, you're making a moment then, and that changes every day in here. And there's so many amazing stories, personal stories or musical stories that have happened in that room that the ghosts are insane in there."
