In reviewing the television play for the 16 September 1967 issue of the Bulletin, Frank Roberts writes, 'Newcastle journalist Ron Harrison's Ride on the Big Dipper [is] what TV drama should be... As it was Harrison's second TV play, and his first one-hour drama, I can only echo the ABC's Phillip Mann, who said, "It was the kind of work we receive all too rarely and we hope he intends to stay with it"' (p. 41).
