Named Rover, no less.

This was not a movie, but rather a television series starring Patrick McGoohan,
late of "Secret Agent Man", as a spy who resigns his job, only to be gassed.
When he wakes up, he is in a small burg called simply "The Village". Everybody
here has a number instead of a name ... Patrick McGoohan is never referred to
by anything besides Number 6 throughout the entire series. The place is 
governed by the ever-changing Number Two.

Number 6 spends most of his time trying to find out who Number One is, who
runs the island (his government, or an enemies), and how to escape.

I think there are 17 episodes to "The Prisoner", the name of the series.
Including a final wrap-up episode which must be seen to be believed.
