Ben Trent

Ben Trent is one of the main characters in episode 1.1 of Primeval. He is the first person(not including Helen to see an anomaly and a Gorgonopsid breaks his window and he throws lots of thing at it, completely wrecking his room, causing Ben's mum to think that Ben Trent watched to much television shows of dinosaurs, and that they were son realistic that kids would start thinking that there would be dinosaurs around ever corner, although the Gorgonopsid is not actually a dinosaur at all, but a mammal that evolved mammal and dinosaur-like features. Ben Trent's teacher also saw the Gorgonopsid, although at first when Ben told her she did not belive him, like most adults do in the Primeval Universe.
