Rover is a plot device and television character from the 1967 British programme The Prisoner. Used to prevent prisoners from escaping the Village, it appears as a floating white balloon that can coerce, incapacitate or kill inhabitants. It can also subdivide. Much about the device is unexplained. The name Rover is spoken only once in the series, while a related novel calls it Guardian.
