Disappearing lawn

I would be grateful for input from any gardeners out there... In June 2014 I removed the patio and subbase from our back garden and repla ced it with Rolawn's Medallion turf sat on approx 6-8 inches of their Blend ed Loam topsoil. Underneath this was the original heavy clay subsoil. Here' s how things looked in once laid: A year later it was still going strong: However, the past few months have been a different story and we now have th is shocking sight: Does anyone have any idea what has happened? As you can hopefully make out, there do not appear to be any weeds or moss but rather the grass has seemingly disappeared. Note also that some areas ( in the last photo) are still relatively lush in appearance. We have always had some issues with earth worms and last year I was sweepin g away casts regularly. Could this be it? I am assuming that I will ultimately end up reseeding, or at least overseed ing, however I am keen to ensure that I understand what has happened and ho w to prevent it reoccurring. Any thoughts and/or suggestions? Mathew

Oh, don't listen to Weatherlawyer. Every so often he escapes his carers and either goes on a rampage of random insults or posts insane/paranoid theories.

Like MI5persection, he's just part or the Usenet universe.
