The legendary cult TV series from Britain, The Prisoner, starring Patrick McGoohan as a secret agent who quits and then is kidnapped and taken to the mysterious 'village' where they've given him a number and taken 'way his name (there is absolutely no connection between McGoohan's former series Danger Man {called Secret Agent in the US of A}). Steed's cute little dialogue is a spoof of the opening of each of the 17 episodes.
The bouncing ball was a big thing that chased down and recaptured escapees.
You won't do yourself any harm by looking up and renting the series. It's a classic.
"I am not a number, I am a free man!"
