A video tweeted by @Mallinson_Kits (a small UK electronic kit supplier)
explains "How to use Breadboard - Using Breadboard for beginners and
prototyping circuits":

This is about solderless breadboards, as in those flat chunks of plastic
with holes for components and wires to be inserted.

Pretty basic stuff, but could be useful if you've never worked with a
breadboard before. The 8 minute video seems to have good coverage
showing the internals of a breadboard, how the contacts are arranged,
explaining how to join several together, and demonstrates building a
stereotypical LED and battery circuit in a few different ways to
illustrate the breadboard's contact arrangement.

they don't seem to have a big following, so your chances are pretty good
if you enter.)
