Hi all,

I am a newbie, been studying for just over a month so I only know very little!

I want to replace any down time I use for TV shows with Mandarin TV shows but I cannot find any with English Subtitles. Does anyone know where I can find some?

Currently I am just watching a load of martial arts films that are in Mandarin, I can only recognise the odd word here and there but I think I'm better off watching these instead of English Films/TV shows.

Try viki.com - they have lots of Mandarin soap operas and movies, most with Chinese and English subtitles.  They've been leaning more toward Korean content lately, but there are still quite a few in Chinese.  Highly recommended.  As you get better, you can turn off the English subtitles and see how much you can figure out on your own.
