An unexpected and hilarious little comedy debuts tonight with the British import “Sally4Ever” (HBO, 10:30 p.m.), starring mousy Catherine Shepherd as mousy, nearing-middle aged woman in a long, dull relationship who suddenly finds excitement with an unpredictable woman — played by Julia Davis, who also wrote and directed all seven episodes. There’s a decent amount of slapstick and exaggeration in the series, especially in the depiction of the poor dude left behind (Alex Macqueen). But also office politics that rather resemble the UK version of “The Office.”
