Ancient Britain will take viewers on a journey back in time to explore the earliest traces of human habitation on our shores, which includes "mysterious footprints" at Happisburgh.
Elveden Estate will also feature in the shows.
Invasion will chart both Caesar’s and Claudius’ invasion of the British Isles and tell the story of the Claudian invasion and the establishment of the fledgling Roman province of Britannia.
Mr Mears said: "I've always been a firm believer that the past informs the present and can provide a guide to the future.
