I take your point.
Perhaps his performance is so good that he doesn't appear to be playing a role. But even so, that role is a parasitical one which somehow doesn't sit well with me.
I know that without a pompous and corrupt Civil Service we never would have had Yes, Minister, and therefore a lot of good comedy relies on the things they mimic being bad. It is very often the essence of good comedy. But Mr Lee somehow just seems to cross the line from parody and mimicing to nasty and snobbish.
