Williams plans a return to Doubtfire

Robin Williams is getting set to don the make-up and wig again and return to his beloved Mrs Doubtfire role in a long-awaited sequel.

The funnyman tells website Sky News he avoided the character for a while because sequel ideas failed to inspire him, but he's thrilled with a new script from comedienne/actress Bonnie Hunt.

He says: "There are plenty more adventures left for her, and the script could easily run to film three too. Fans will love it."

The 1993 movie made a whopping $219m (€182m) in America alone.
