Please Can You Help And Explain The Reasoning

Pharaoh started it with myriad building-blocks (7)
Dodgy moment after leader of Jury leaves (4)
Crockery used in leisure times outside? (3,3)

thank you in advance

[mazie]

1. Pyramid start of Pharaoh = P + anagram of myriad

[chelle7272]

3 tea set - ease (leisure) inside t t (times)

[chelle7272]

(j) iffy

[cmb67pink]

thanks but now means I have another one wrong..
Ability to start keeping pet for money (10)

[chelle7272]

any letters placed?

[cmb67pink]

c?m???e?c?

[mazie]

competence ?

[chelle7272]

yes
commence - swap the m (money) for pet = competence

[cmb67pink]

Competence looks good
CBS tries to broadcast in arrivals area (10) - I had observance but that is wrong if competence is correct. o?s?e???c?

I have a long way to go yet to become competent in cryptic crossword solving!

[mazie]

obstetrics

[mazie]

CBS tries to (anag)

[chelle7272]

Obstetrics - anagram of CBS tries to (broadcast often indicates anagram or 'sounds like' answers)

[eariyam]

could it be obstetrics ?/

[cmb67pink]

so easy when you know how!
thank you

[mazie]
