Sarah Dollard (born 21 January 1980) is an Australian screenwriter, living and working in the United Kingdom. She made her start in writing for television on the long-running Australian soap opera Neighbours, before moving to the UK in 2008. Stints working in the script departments of British fantasy and science fiction TV shows, Merlin and Primeval, led to writing episodes of BBC Three supernatural television series Being Human and British spy thriller The Game, which first broadcast on BBC America. She created and wrote the Welsh romantic comedy series Cara Fi (Love Me), which debuted on S4C in 2014. She wrote the episode "Face the Raven" for Series 9 of Doctor Who.
Dollard worked on Neighbours for four years, as a storyliner, a script editor, a story editor, and a writer of over thirty episodes. Before leaving Australia, she also worked in script development for popular children’s television series The Saddle Club, and in development on other children’s shows with the Australian Children's Television Foundation.
After moving to the UK, Dollard worked on season two of BBC One fantasy-adventure series Merlin, before moving on to Primeval in 2010, where she script-edited seasons four and five of the sci-fi series, and wrote all five episodes of the Primeval web-series that introduced season four.
