“I Wanna Marry Harry” may have been canceled and yanked off the air already this summer, but it’s time for another couple of British phonies to come around and fool Americans on the new “Almost Royal” (BBC America, 10 and 10:30 p.m.).
At least this pair, Georgie and Poppy, played with dry restraint by Ed Gamble and Amy Hoggart, are actually amusing as they pretend to be some part of the British aristocracy, driving around the U.S. and asking silly questions.
The two play it like more benign versions of Borat, poking gentle fun but never too edgy. With their first stop in Hollywood, the car dealer seems wise to their jokes, at least, though a tour guide and plastic surgeon aren’t so sure. In Boston (Worcester, actually), they are aghast that the local Tea Party meeting doesn’t actually serve tea. Future stops include Texas, New York, Nashville, Detroit and Washington, D.C. And while it may not be uproarious, it’s pretty good fun for a Saturday night in America.
