Can you recommend any free Forth video tutorials (except for following) ?

The only one I know of is Samuel A. Falvo's excellent "Over The Shoulder Episode 1: Text Preprocessing in Forth". MPEG. 102 MB.

There are also videos from the annual Forth Day, but I don't consider those to be tutorials.

(Unfortunately Forth is, like R, C, C++, Java, C#, D, COM, .NET, F# and Frontier, an unspecific search term. Search tip for Forth: qualify it with "ans" - as in ANS Forth, the ANSI Forth Standard.)

Accumulated based on answers and other information:

Introductions to Forth

Forth. By Ben Stiglitz. At RubyConf 2008 Orlando Florida, U.S.A. 13 min 35 secs. 32 MB. MP4.

I have recently become curious about Factor, which, as far as I understand, is the most practical stack based language around.
