John Finnemore acts as announcer, setting the scene and throwing in the odd "Two days later" as required, but that still only brings the number of voices in an episode to three. (And "The Goliath Window" really does feature only two voices since Finnemore plays one of the main parts as well.) In a few episodes, there are additional voices but they are uncredited.
