Hi everyone. I am stuck on three clues. I'm pretty sure I have the right answers but I don't know why!
66 across: Minister to spend period in gaol S?R?? (Serve)
72 across: Love going into terribly big desert ?O?I (gobi)
50 down: Look up to severe new leader ?E?E?E (revere)
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

@alchemylee,

66a To minister to some0ne is to serve them, you also serve a prison sentence.
72a The word 'love' in a cryptic clue usually means O - in tennis the score zero = love. So the answer is an anagram of O and BIG.
50d 'New leader' means you have to change the first letter of the word - REVERE = look up to.

I hope this helps.
