In some ways this is to be expected, because E4's available on the Freeview platform, and Sky1's a subscription channel less people have access to, but I'm sure Sky would have been expecting closer to 1m for such a high-profile acquisition.
Maybe worldwide Glee fatigue is beginning to take hold, as the premiere's ratings were also down in the US. A few days earlier the show returned on Fox, but only managed 8.91m viewers, beaten by the new Zooey Deschanel-starring sitcom New Girl. Worse, Glee's demographics were down 32% on season 2's premiere to 3.8. Ouch.
