Khan Academy have made a video series on bitcoin, attempting to explain what they are and how they work.

It's by Zulfikar Ramzan. Zulfikar is a world-leading expert in computer security and cryptography and is currently the Chief Scientist at Sourcefire. He received his Ph.D. in computer science from MIT.

A few very nice videos that explain the different aspects of bitcoin very calm, clear and detailed. Good view!

I am excited about watching these thanks for the post.

This is fantastic.  I love Khan academy.  I can't vouch for the quality of everything they post, but this guy sure has good credentials.  Probably a great link to send to newbies.

Agreed -- really good intro videos going into a reasonable amount of depth.
