Thursday Morning Riddle

I was famous on Fawlty for playing the fool;
I took over for Thatcher’s Britannia rule;
I’m the league with the pick of the best from the pool;
And the subject you studied when you were in school.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Annalisa. See comments for answer.

    Good job Annalisa!
