The 'Travel in Chinese' programme on CCTV-9 which I have mentioned before is quite advanced and the pace of the learning is quite fast. The other problem is that there is not printed material to go with the series yet. The series of 'Travel in Chinese' will purchased on video or DVD until they have finished playing the series on CCTV-9.
However, CCTV-9 has produced a series called 'Communicate in Chinese' which has been out on DVD for a while. The 'Communicate in Chinese' series is a more basic introduction to Chinese, and is available in DVD format with a printed guide. There are 12 DVD's and four books that go with the complete series which means that it will take a few hours to watch.
As the new series is not available yet I have purchased a copy of 'Communicate in Chinese'. Unfortunately, I could not buy any copies in the UK and I had to purchase it from China and have it shipped in. I found a good store called HeyChinese on eBay which sells learning material for Chinese learners.
